Steve,

When you get a bad checksum error , just use a different download location. Thats nothing bad to worry about.

Open Spybot and go to Help > About and make sure you have version 1.5.1, if not uninstall it via the Add Remove Programs in the Control panel and download and install the newer version from here.
Download and install Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5.1

If you have the older version 1.4, remove it via the Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

  • During Installation, just follow all the defaults.
  • Go to Mode and click on Advanced Mode
  • Then to Updates Search for Updates
  • If you get a Bad Checksum Error, just choose a different download location.
  • Then to Settings/ File Sets and take the checkmark out of Usage Tracks
  • Then to Tools/ Hosts Files click on Add Spybot S&D Hosts Files.
  • Then to Tools/ IE Tweeks and put a checkmark in Lock the Hosts Files
  • Then to Immunize. Up at the top by the GREEN SIGN, click on Immunize.
  • Then to Search and Destroy/ Check for Problems
  • Let it scan your system
  • Then to Fix Problems and fix all it finds.
  • Reboot your computer.


Go here and I am replying to your thread about WhenUsave.
