Bad Checksum!! is a problem that plagued me for some time.
My solution!
Remove the tick form "Use proxy to connect to update server" in Settings
It must be noted that i also use a proxy download accelerator.
I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for sharing that.
Proxy servers that store the Spybot-S&D update files and don’t refresh them immediately when they are updated can be a source of "Bad Checksum" errors since the wrong update file will be delivered by the proxy server during the update process.
The following servers gave "bad checksum" results:
BWWS Germany and See-Cure #1
See-Cure #2 was OK.
I will delete the first two as indicated
Thanks
I love Spybot S & D. When this error was encountered I assumed that more complicated navigations would be required. I was wrong. I discovered that the server(s) sometimes just want to throw a hissy fit or may just have a temporary bellyache. Often times just wait an hour or two, try again and in all probability the downloads will operate flawlessly. Hope this helps.
I log into windows xp sp2 in "safe mode with networking features" and it downloaded and installed all updates fine. I changed the mirror, but this time in normal windows running mode and I could downloaded the rest of the updates. It's a strange behaviour...I don't know what's the reason for that.
