You seem to be using a dated version of Spybot-S&D.
So why is v1.6 still available on the Spybot web site: http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors16/ ?
You seem to be using a dated version of Spybot-S&D.
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.
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 --
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.

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.
Correction update is public.
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
Hello,
That is a different problem.
Did you open Spybot with a right click and choose "run as administrator/take ownership"?
Best regards
