Error during check!: Win32.Autorun.cfto

Same error message, but didn't get it yesterday

I just downloaded Spybot on Sunday, thought it had gotten rid of all the bad stuff, but started getting unrelated ads when clicking google links again today. Before checking I emptied my google chrome history, and immunized, as advised. When I started running the scan I got this same message (Win32.Autorun.cfto[1-$95CE1D85][TRegExpr[comp]: *+Operand Could Be Empty [pos 1]].

My computer is 4 years old, Vista, and as I said, this did not happen when I ran the last scan (yesterday).
 
w32.autorun.cfto

I have 3 pc's – xp, vista, and 7 using 1.6.2.46.
All show the win32Autorun.Cfto 'error'.
The only time I use the xp is once a month to update all a/v type programs. The xp box is for
extreme backup conditions, as necessary. No email is received on that box.

I uninstalled 1.6.2.46 on the xp.
Installed 2.1 on the xp.
Ran a scan and nothing found.
However, on the scan screen says 'The scan will not include extended antivirus checks'.
What does this mean?
How do I get a 'full' scan?
Also, the Spybot Startup screen shows: 'Internet protection full'.
I don't want Spybot interfering with my other a/v stuff.
I use it for on-demand scanning to complement the other.
Can the 'Internet protection full' be disabled?

I found this link on your forum to get rid of w32.autorun.cfto manually:
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?68547-Manual-Removal-Guide-for-Win32-Autorun-cfto
However, I don't see any entries associated in the instructions using msconfig.exe.
Also, I did find's on w32.autorun.cfto, autorun, and cfto via regedit and found no entries also.
 
Same gliche

I to had the same problem arise. Also 64 bit Windows 7. What do we do? Make the jump to version 2.0? Please tell because I love Spybot 1.6.2 with TeaTimer.

Just performed an update on version 1.6.2 this evening and I've encountered the same exact error as everyone else here. Will you guys fix this problem with next weeks update for version 1.6.2?

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

here won't be any program changes or development in version 1.6.2 anymore as this is an old version.
Spybot 2.0 and 2.1 have already been released.
I'm sure you understand that we can't keep developing old versions anymore when new ones are already out there and available to use.

it sounds like 1x is done
 
Same problem

Hi Sandra. I have the exact same problem this morning on a 64-bit Windows 7 workstation patched and up-to-date.

Exact error is:

Error during check!: Win32.Autorun.cfto [1 - $95CE1D85] (TRegExpr(comp): *+ Operand Could Be Empty (pos 1)) (Status)

It appears about 1/20th of the way into the scan.

Spybot version is:

1.6.2 (build: 20090126)

Please advise.

Thanks --

Same problem on Vista 64 bit since downloading SB 1.6.2.46 today. Ran last weeks version yesterday no problems.

Where do we go from here?

Thanks
 
Error notice: win32.autorun cfto


I have the older version the 1.6
It would behoove your company to let people know exactly what is going on.
Is this malware?
A virus?
Or that there is glich that needs to be corrected by uninstalling the 1.6 and installing the 2.0 or 2.1.
Your loyal users deserve better treatment.
I love your product and I have a well off friend who donates for me and others that he knows so that we can use your program.
I really don't think that it's fair that people are freaking out left and right....myself included because you haven't issued a notice about a need to update to a newer program to your current users.

Ditto.

I am having the same problem on my updated 64-bit W7 EE SP1 machine after getting today's updates. I had no problems in the past and on my very old updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine.

If this old Spybot version is unsupported, then why does it still get weekly updates?

no its neither virus or malware That is no infection, as nothing was found in the scan.
It is just an "Error during check" where the scan could not process this item.

There won't be any program changes or development in version 1.6.2 anymore

Actually, SpybotSandra already posted in this thread that we need to upgrade to the latest version. Could this error message be intentional just so we can upgrade? Hmmm! But, to be fair, I can understand why the developers of the program would rather everyone upgrade and stop using the older version just so they won't have to worry about keeping the older program working properly.
I'm going to upgrade. I just hope the issue of the program having problems working well with the eBay website is resolved. If not, I'll have to come back to Spybot version 1.6.2.46 or start using an alternate program!
 
Hello,

This has also been reported here.

Thank you for reporting this issue.
There is an error that slipped through QA.

This will most likely be updated with the next detection update scheduled for next Wednesday.

I will inquire about the upgrade information for 1.6.2 to 2.1.
1.6.2 should be able to display such information, but it may not be able to use the integrated updater to download and install 2.1.

Please just search for new updates and download them.

Same problem with me on Windows XP with Spybot version 1.6.2.46
More: an "ilivid.Toolbar" is detected and Spybot cannot delete it.
What can I do? Thanks.

It appears they have fixed this problem as there is a new update out there this morning and since installing it the error no longer shows up.

Thanks
