Bad checksum

[autographshark]

Hi, I've been trying to update my Spybot program and seem to always get an error message bad checksum!!! What is going on with this? Is there a problem with the downloaded data?
Thanks,

I am having the same problem. It began a few weeks ago and was intermittent. It has gradually worsened and now I cannot download any updates at all, no matter what time of day, etc., etc. Nothing works. I have been using spybot for several years now and I like it a lot. But if I can't get updates, it will gradually become useless.

Try switching to and downloading from BN FileForum (World).

As an alternative you could try to download and execute the manual updates from here:
Downloads – The home of Spybot-S&D!
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
The item (currently) is:
Detection updates 2005-11-11 - product description
md5: E4AB410287F9B856B64AE19AE5F7B427

This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.


The direct download link (usually remains the same for all updates) is:
http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe

How do I direct SpyBot to download from a different site? I've taken a quick stroll through the menus and forgive me, but it's not obvious to me.
