Error during check!: Win32.Autorun.cfto
When I run Spybot - Search & Destroy version: 1.6.2 (build: 20090126) (Win 98SE) with the latest definitions I receive the following error:
--- Search result list ---
Error during check!: Win32.Autorun.cfto [1 - $759C99D9] (TRegExpr(comp): *+ Operand Could Be Empty (pos 1)) (Status)
Am I infected with this malware? How should I proceed?
Re: Error during check!: Win32.Autorun.cfto
While I agree with your statement, it is not a solution. The problem is that Spybot may have detected some malware but is unable to process it properly. Since Spybot 1.6 is still available on your website, the proper solution is to fix the detection method used. Is my system infected with this malware or is this a false positive? Help please!!!
If you no longer wish to support this version then do NOT allow downloads of it from your website.
The problem is *not* OS-related
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 --

Since Microsoft has also stopped supporting such old Windows versions you should probably be considering either an upgrade or taking that PC out of service as soon as possible. Once Security updates are no longer available it becomes impossible for any security software to truly protect an operating system effectively.

I have the same problem since today's update
On two computers I get the same error since today's update - one running Windows 7 and one running XP. Please advise.
Same error with Windows 8
I also received the same error during check warning and I have a brand new Windows 8 system.

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).
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.
