I've never heard of the problem before, so it is certainly not a common problem.

Is this a possible cause?

If not, please provide some pertinent information so that someone can possibly help you determine the cause of the problem:

Spybot version?
OS you are running?
Update experience:
1. Is the first time I have ever tried a Spybot update?
2. Have you successfully updated in the past and this is a newly encountered problem?
  - If so, what changes have you made to your system since the last successful update?
Exactly when do you get the error message, i.e. when you:
1. "Search for updates"?
2. Attempt to "Download updates"?
3. Etc.

So I sujest you check for that. If you use the kaaza program you need to check every day for viruses and worms. Thats an easy way to get infected.
