• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Bad Image Error (Inactive)

My laptop has been showing this on the screen:

logoin.exe (or another program)-Bad Image
C:\Windows\System32\eapphost32.dll. It is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installion media or contact your system administrator or software vendor for support.
When I close it, another one pops up again and again. I have Norton 360 Verison 3.0 on my laptop. I also downloaded Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, MalwarebytesAnti-Malware, SuperAntispyware and the CCleaner which did not work or detect anything. I did download the HijackThis which a few thing came up but it said to ask for an expert advice before I do anything. I am not a computer tech persona and have no clue what to do next. Is there something here someone can help me with or do I need to take this laptop to the GeekSquad?? PLEASE HELP!!!:banghead:
