"Bad Checksum" problems are usually caused by overloaded download servers.
To change download servers and for a workaround for "Bad Checksum" errors please see:

Note: The download server can be changed after the "Search for Updates" and before clicking "Download Updates". So if you find a server that works well, you can start by using that server in the future. Also note that if you want (not necessarily recommended) you can select a server and then right click on the button and "Set this server as the preferred download location". If you do that Spybot will select that sever rather than a random server for future updates.

- When updating, why do I get an error message that the "update is forbidden" / "bad checksum!!!"?

Same issue..
Every time I update and use ANY server besides Safer networking #1 I get bad check sums. Even with SAfer Networking #2 or #3.
Is it really overloaded servers or something on My end over here. I can't imagine every other server being too loaded, and I COULD just select #1 all the time, but I'd like to spread the bandwidth around a bit and not always hit the home servers. Bandwidth cost $$ , right?
