So why is v1.6 still available on the Spybot web site: http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors16/ ?
So why is v1.6 still available on the Spybot web site: http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors16/ ?
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).
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...2-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.
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.
I have the same issue too,
Win7 64bit high spec gaming PC
Running I7 Nvidia 690 GTX ,
and squeaky clean,

it sounds like 1x is donehere 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.

im guessing this error has do w 1x and its old and outdated?
and to fix it go to 2x?

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.
