Why Can't you delete Network Bridge Icons?

I have seen this issue, and I will try to help you. First off, a "network bridge" serves to connect your computer to multiple networks. However, a network bridge is not your "internet connection." You can remove this and still use the internet. If you use your computer on two networks simultaneously (rare) then a network bridge will let you share files over, or use the internet connection of two networks. Most home users only need to be part of one home network MSHOME or WORKGROUP. (to see which domain or network you are part of go to Control Panel -> System -> Computer Name) Sometimes, if you right click on the Network Bridge Icon, and you get an error message when trying to delete or disable the network. First, make sure you have administrator privileges. (You are the "administrator" if you can go to the Start -> Control Panel and edit Windows firewall.) A quick and dirty way to remove the bridge is to go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager delete the Mac Miniport Bridge. Then, the "network bridge" icon in "connections" should disapear. If you encounter anymore problems, please use one of the many FREE spyware/virus scanners such as AVG, adaware, or spybot S&D to make sure you don't have a backdoor Trojan installed. Goodluck
