With Spybot, lately I keep getting the message "bad checksum!" whenever I try to download updates. Everything else seems to be working fine. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

Yep I had the same problem but I finally got all the updates , What I done was just to install one update at a time , each time though I would reload spybot , it took some time but I did get them all

ranchhand,
Try changing the server, from which you're trying to get the updates. Sever problems and changes. (RrRrR)

I have always used the SpyBot "EON" server from Australia. Never had a problem. I did get the CHECKSUM error the other night when I tried to D/L from the default server, but switched to EON, and all was fine.
