>Hi Billy Bob,

It looks like you probably have more than one problem.
The first issue is that your system is not loading your
network bridge driver correctly. If you are running Win
XP (which I am assuming) then click Start -> Control
panel -> Network and Internet Connections and remove and
rebuild the network connection called 'network bridge'.
The second issue is a spyware problem. Delete the
program 'WildTangent' from your PC and download, install,
update and run software such as AD Aware from Lavasoft to
remove the spyware. Please note that it is important to
NOT remove software automatically upon windows reboot
with these types of spyware removal programs, if it asks
anything about that, so No and go look for more software
to uninstall before running the spyware killer again.
