Ok, I have the same problem as many others, meaning I'm having troubles with the bridge.dll thing. I scanned it with HJT and if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.

You've definitely got some problems there. Download and run the following spyware removal tools to clean the nasties out of your system (you should also run a full virus scan as well):

Ad Aware

SpyBot Search & Destroy

CWShredder

Once done, post a fresh log after first moving hijackthis into a permanent folder.

Ok.. The bridge.dll problem is gone now for some reason.. maybe because I used a virus scanner.. Anyways, here is the new logfile and if there's something unusual let me know. Thanks in advance and for the other advice you gave me.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Title Close] C:\PROGRA~1\INFOCA~1\16 eq audio.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\PROGRA~1\INFOCA~1< folder
C:\PROGRA~1\ABOUTJ~1< folder
c:\windows\system32\sncntr.exe< file
C:\WINDOWS\System32\version.exe

Also delete the 04 entry files that Tekmaven advised the same way. Deleting the 04 entry with hijackthis only removes the registry entry.

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log plz.
