I just got a new pc and am trying to download Spybot. I used it on my other computer and liked it. For some reason I cannot get past an error message telling me that the file is corrupted. What am I doing wrong?

Am using Dell Dimension C521 WinXP.

Any help and/or advice would be most appreciated.

Download sites for Spybot-S&D 1.4 (there are four (4) listed here):Mirror Selection – The home of Spybot–S&D!
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
Are you downloading from one of those sites?

Is the file size of the downloaded spybotsd14.exe file:
5,037,072 bytes
Is the md5 hash value of the downloaded spybotsd14.exe file:
md5: C1A843913269018A8FC962407D7E5169

Yes, I was using one of those sites and the md5 matched. I couldn't find the byte size other than 4.80 mg. I tried it again and it worked; I don't know why it wouldn't download the other times I tried. I think my computer is trying to make me look like a fool and I can do that on my own. Thank you for your help and for replying so quickly.
