    Spybot - updating message: "FILE REJECTED because of bad checksum"

    I was updating Spybot and received the following log - there appears to be a problem related to "checksum."

    Any ideas on solving this?

    This is a fairly common problem - especially on Fridays when most updates are generally known and expected to be posted. Accordingly, excessive initial traffic is to be expected and downloads may end up incomplete as detected by checksum calculation.

    Try several alternate download sites until you get one that WORKS or try later.
