!!!Bad checksum!?

Bad Checksum Solution

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.
 
Bad checksum

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've got bad checksum message.

"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.

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.
