Removal Instructions:
Autorun:
Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd), RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.
Entries pointing to "BRIDGE.DLL".
Entries pointing to "\a.exe".

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$WINDIR>\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.dll".
The file at "<$WINDIR>\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.inf".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\a.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If BlazeFind.Bridge uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!

A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "Bridge.brdg", plus associated values.
