Spybot updates not downloading...

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Anybody else running Spybot S&D?

I've noticed recently that available updates won't download. A notice comes up saying 'Bad. Checksum!!' and that's the end of the download attempt.

Has anyone else met with this and do they know a way around the problem?

    My copy seems to be running fine...just updated after reading this.

    What version are you running? I had the same problem when I was running v1.3.

    As per Thomas's post. Servers are busy so need to pick a different server to download from. Click on little down arrow and pick another one. That'll fix it.
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.
