Pest Patrol identified 'bridge.dll' as a pest and needed to be deleted. So
I did.

Now when WIN XP starts, a message comes up that 'bridge.dll' is missing.
Should I reinstall? Should I ignore?

Can anyone tell me exactly what 'bridge.dll' is and why it is needed?

Thank you

It's a spyware dll

Use Notepad, create new file and write there the text you see between the scores:

-----------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run]
"RunDLL"=-
-----------

Save the file as: unbridge.reg
Close notepad. double-click unbridge.reg and accept the change.
Once this is done you should be able to reboot without the message for Bridge.dll

Google has a host of answers to this specific question.

Just try any search engine e.g.
http://www.google.com/search?q=bridge.dll which will give you lots and
lots and lots of valid answers.

Might he also have some legitimate RunDLL's?

You might be able to get rid of it with MSCONFIG.

If running Regedit interactively doesn't frighten you (it's a bit user
hostile) I would:

1) Navigate in Regedit to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

2) Export that branch to run.reg. If something goes wrong you can
restore this branch from the saved reg file.

3) Delete the key with bridge.dll

(C:\windows\system32\rundll32 bridge.dll or something like that)

4) close regedit.

When you reboot you shouldn't get the error.
