Unable To Install - SpybotSD.exe corrupt

I have tried to install Spybot and get this:

"spybotSD.exe corrupt - an error occurred while trying to copy a file."

I suspect that something is forcing this as I have downloaded the latest version from two different sources and get the same error.

Is there a known virus that monitors a download and then corrupts the file so that it behaves like this preventing the install from taking place.

I also have the same problem on some other Antivirus tools I am trying to install

The size of the spybotsd152.exe installation program is 9,722,720 Bytes.

Did you download from one of the sites listed here?
To make sure there wasn't a transmission problem, check the MD5 hash of the downloaded spybotsd152.exe installation program as well as the size. Is the MD5 hash value equal to the following?

To check the MD5 hash value you can use one of these programs (note: The download for MD5 Checker 2.31 is only 23892 bytes, so if you are having problems downloading that may be the best option):
Also note that there is a another MD5 Checker recommended by PepiMK in post #3 of the following thread:
