HiJackThis? Don't use that program.. it opened a trojan for me. Also, any malware thats a .DLL is dangerous, taking into the fact that they can *control* programs.

Dangerous-trojan horse. I had this and it was detected off of AVG-deleted it and Windows could not find the file but the message went away after removing registry values.

That is surely a spyware. Because the user was not able to see his list of Printers also. Remove it from the list in Starup Items in MSCONFIG. Delete the corresponding Registry Enties for BRIDGE and reboot the system.
