What does the message 'Bad checksum' mean why you try and download updates in Spybot?
There is a mathematical formula run across the binary form of a file. The answer to that formula is a files "checksum." This can be used later to ensure a file has not been tampered with either on purpose or by accidental corruption such as the results of a bad file transfer.
When Spybot gives you the "Bad Checksum" message it means that the file it received does not calculate to the same checksum as was recorded for the source file. The most common "fix" for this is to perform another transfer of the file. Spybot's update process being run a second time should resolve the problem.
