missing module\file

[Q]

I keep getting a message on startup after my desktop
appears with the heading "rundll". It states that "There
was an error loading C:\Windows\system32\Bridge.dll
The specified module could not be found". I tried a repair
installation from my windows disk to no avail. Any
suggestions would be welcome.

I'm using Giant Anti spyware, Spybot, and ad-aware. The
problem started after the third scan and clean-up after
using Giant anti spyware.Could it have removed this file
and if so how do I get it back?

Hi

You don't want that file back. It's not needed and is part of some kind of
spyware. Have a look at the following articles:
