I have this problem in my add/remove programs where i can't uninstall this program called Bridge. I had it for a couple of days now and i don't really know how i got that program. I also think this program had something to do with some spyware that i got earlyer, which i hopefully deleted all of them with adaware and spybot. Well, Everytime i click the remove the program it does nothing to Bridge. I don't know what to do so please help me....

Do you recognize this program? It looks suspicious...
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\HPZSTATX.EXE

Reboot your PC.

If you would please, rescan with HijackThis and post a fresh log.

[psychocandy]

just a quick jump in here

HPZSTATX.EXE

is a Nightmarish Printer Status Monitor task which is installed by the setup program of many HP DeskJet printers when installing on a Windows 9x*admin PC. HPZSTATX does not get installed if you install your printer via the "Add Printer" icon in the Printers Panel – it only gets installed if you run the HP setup program. Everything that HPZSTATX does, it does badly : it uses too many system resources, and, worse, it frequently "hangs" the printing of documents with, in most cases, only a reboot solving the problem. This is twisted ! A printer manufacturer producing a buggy piece of software which so often prevents the user from..... printing !!!

Looks good. Is your "bridge" problem fixed?

How do you prevent spyware from being installed again? We strongly recommend installing SpywareBlaster and IE/Spyad.

Both are free programs. SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed and consumes no system resources.

IE/Spyad places over 4000 websites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will several impair attempts to infect your system.

More info and download is available at:
SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacools...areblaster.html
IE/Spyad: http://www.staff.uiu...es/resource.htm

[uLtErIoRShAdOw]

WOW GUY!! THANKS ALOT!!!

That Bridge thing is gone.

I'll go get SpywareBlaster and IE/Spyad as you recommended. You guys are awsome...How do you guys know so much?

O well THANK YOU very much!!
