All the posts on the spurious error message are old.  I see no new complaints.  Recently installed System Explore.  Running Windows Vista Home Edition, have been for a few years, 32 bit system.. This  same Bad Image..... message after running Malware MegaBites (sp?)..  Has problem been solved? This newbie to System Explore (Kim Komando recommended. She's my favorite Go To for all manner of useful info.)  would like to know what to do.  Anxious to have system 100%. Thanks.
