    This is taken from another website.

    The Bridge.dll is a known spyware component, which is called Adware.WinFavorites at Symantec’s Security Response Web pages. Norton AntiVirus would detect it as such, but even if you don’t have this on your PC you can get rid of the remaining elements manually. To do this, we suggest booting into Safe mode. Once there, perform a search for the following files and delete them if you find them: bridge.exe, winfavorites.exe, bridge.dll, and bridge.inf.

    Now click Start -> Run, type regedit and press [Return]. First browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ explorer \ Browser Helper Objects \ {9C691A33-7DDA-4C2F-BE4C-C176083F35CF}. Right-click the {9C691A33...} entry in the left-hand pane and select Delete. Now browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall \ bridge. Again, right-click the bridge entry and select Delete.

    Finally, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run. In the right-hand pane you’ll see a value called systray: right-click this and delete it. This should remove all trace of the adware from your PC and get rid of the message at startup.



    Should help.

    lol, as long as you stick to the guide there should be no problems.

    Try virus scanning / spyware, that might be able to pick it up. If not, ^

    Don't be, It's really easy, just follow the guide, and don't change anything else. I've had to do it once or twice...
