Help trying to download updates

For several months and a bunch of attempts, each time I try to update the process stops and I see the words "Bad Checksum" where the update file was and I'm unable to download the file.
I'm using Windows XP, Spybot S&D v1.3
Any info will be appreciated,
Thanks
 
"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 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.

******************

You should consider upgrading to Spybot 1.4.

There are four (4) download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 here:Uninstall Spybot-S&D 1.3:Install Spybot-S&D 1.4:
  • Execute spybotsd14.exe download above.
  • Do not change the default installation path of:
    • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
  • Make sure that you update Sptbot-S&D 1.4 before running a scan.
