    Unhappy Bad Checksum when downloading updates

    Hello.

    I get a lot of "bad checksum" errors when trying to download spybot updates. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas what to do about it? I am running spybot 1.4 on Windows XP SP2. Notice I had the same problem with spybot 1.3 as well.

    thanks

    Hi criskrit,

    !!! Bad Checksum ! problems can be overcome in most cases by changing the download server (site) as follows:
    1. Do not click "Search for Updates" again.
    2. Using the pull-down site selection menu (between the "Search for Updates" and "Download Updates" buttons) select another server.
    3. After changing the download server click "Download Updates" again.
    4. If you get another "Bad Checksum", repeated Steps 2 & 3 (using a 3rd or 4th server if necessary) until all updates are received.
