spybot will not update, says error retrieving update file

Update Checksum error

I wonder if a real person will read this. I tried a download of the detection files of 20 May 2009. It failed and it failed from about 9 other mirror sites. Didn't look like an overload problem to me; looked like a genuine checksum error. The problem was that there was no way of contacting Spybot. The Contact Us email just led to an automatic reply.

Manual download from the web site worked in the end.

Ironically I couldn't access this forum on IE7 on Vista as image verification didn't work. I wonder if the automatic email system will tell me what my problem is there.

Shouldn't moan about a great piece of software though. I am grateful.
