A popular error indeed... I just got it a few days ago as well...
I didn't bother to post a new thread about it, so I'll just post here, ok? :mrgreen:

You have a mess there so I will give you a couple of starters then you will have to post in your own thread, as the forum rules state. This is to avoid the confusion of trying to diagnose different logs in the same thread & as a matter of courtesy to the original poster whose problem may not yet be solved. Thanx for understanding.

So just do the following & open a new thread.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it B4 scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.'
Select 'activate in-depth scan' before starting scan.
When the scan is finished select 'next.'
Remove what it finds by placing a check in the box to the left of the object. Reboot

Download & instal Spybot S&D from here Update it B4 scanning. Go into settings & have it check for Beta releases also & download if available.
After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED.
On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it. Reboot

There WILL be more to do.

OK, thanks! I'll try those things, and if it doesnt work, Ill post again in a new thread. Sorry for posting where I shouldnt... :rolleyes:
Thanks again!

Thanks again!

It's all cool. Separate threads works to everyones advantage in the end, as there will be no crossed lines. :D

Thanks a bunch Crunchie.......seems to have worked. I deleted the mplv7.dll file. I think you said it was exe., but all i found was the .dll file. After rebooting I was prompted to switch back to Normal Start-up mode, which I did. I did not get the bridge error this time. Thanks again. Now finally my wife will quit accusing me of messing up the computer.

That's always a good thing. Check out the 'how you got infected' in my Sig.
