    Default Spybot says my DVD drive is infected! :-/

    Just installed, updated and ran Spybot S&D 2, it found several things on drive E:\ including Staffcop, which has me worried, but my E: drive is a DVD drive! and it's empty... Spybot failed to remove them even after a re-start so I shutdown and un-plugged the DVD drive and then restarted and re-ran the scan - no malware - restarted and re-connected DVD drive and re-scanned and they're back!

    What is going on? Is this correct or false positives?

    Can anyone help out here? I'm at a loss as to what to do next. the drive is a Sony AD-7280S-0B 24x DVD±R, 12xDVD± this stuff must be in the firmware?

    Hello,

    That could be a bug.
    Can you please post your Checks or SDCleaner.log ?
    It should be stored here:
    C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
    Thanks.

    Best regards

    Ah thanks, I'll try and attach the log...

    Had to split it into 2 files as it was over the size limit:

    Hello,

    Thanks for reporting.
    That looks like a false positive.
    We will check that.
    Would it be possible to also post the Scanner.log?

    Since this probably is a false-positive, it will most likely be fixed in the next update, which is on the upcoming Wednesday.

    OK, I'll give that a try. I tried the last version of Spybot S&D 1 with all the updates and it didn't find them so hopefully it is a false positive.
