"Bridge.dll" is a remnant of a spyware file and should be deleted.

Download Ad-Aware 6.0 and scan your PC for the presence of spyware:

Removing spyware requires more than one program. Use Spybot Search &
Destroy from www.safer-networking.org as well as Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs before running
them. These programs are free, so run them both since they complement
each other. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal tools in
Safe Mode. You may also need to run CWShredder from http:/
www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/index.html . Please read the instructions
carefully. A great resource for dealing with spyware is

Also, make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security
patches. Make sure you are running a firewall.
