I have tried to update Spybot detection rules for 2 days now and keep getting BAD CHECKSUM errors from ALL servers. How do I fix this ?

Exactly the same problem for me too.
Hope this is just a temporary issue and is fixed soon.
Please see this page on bad checksum. It's one of the old website pages and many of those may be out of date as per the warning at the bottom, but I believe it should still be accurate:

Mind you, since there are two of you not being able to update, perhaps there is a problem with the servers. But that's just my guess, I don't know if that is the case or not. There is a link provided there to the manual includes updates, along with instructions on where to store the manual updates. That should let you guys update to the latest spybot antispyware updates.
Thanks for the info.
Still getting the problem on all servers I've tried: UK, EU, US etc.
Now two sets of definitions need updates.
I've had bad checksum errors from specific servers before but never all of them and those errors have usually resolved themselves within a few days. This current issues is now over a week old.
EDIT
Thanks again - just manually updated from that link provided, very quick and SpyBot is now shown as being up to date.
