Hi swimmeraa,

You've picked up some spyware along the way - you can read about
BRIDGE at PestPatrol:

Please follow the very thorough directions at the following website,
which should remove BRIDGE plus any other spyware you may have.

At the very least, you will run the following four programs -

1) Run HouseCall, a very thorough online virus scan:

Download and run the following programs ("check for updates" before scanning):

2) CWShredder:

2) Adaware

4) SpyBot

of the specialized forums.
