bad checksum

[Phillip]

I haven't been able to update Spybot for several months. Whenever I try to do so, the downloads stop. The message I always receive is 'bad checksum".

Can anyone tell me what's happening??

Thanks,

Phil

"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.
