Trouble updating detection rules & removing things from update window

[Cloudchaser]

Hello :-)

Every time I go to update Spybot 1.4, It takes an amount of time that's long even for dialup (I'm on cable) to download it, during which there are many periods of 30+ seconds with no data transfer (as indicated by Online Eye) and when it does finally get the whole update, it just sits there doing nothing as seen here in this screenshot before either telling me it's completed or saying "!!!bad checksum!"

Also, how do I get those other things out of the update window? I have no use for them

Thanx in advance :-)

Try using another download server the next time you update and see if the download goes faster. "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.

That did it :-) Thanx! :-)
