    I have/had version 1.3(current) installed on 2 laptops and 1 desktop for about 6 months with no problems. Then, detection rules update, dated 2-16-2005 came along. Downloading and updating this update causes a checksum error to appear. I don't know what that is-whether it is program related, or a system problem. I get this error on all 3 machines, so I suspect it is a problem within the update. I uninstalled Spybot S$D and reinstalled it from a previously downloaded setup/exe file. I thought first to do a clean download from PCWorld's website, but noticed that the version is still 1.3. The download stopped at about the 800KB point, so I abandoned it, and decided to use the previously downloaded exe file. Now, when I try to update I see about 10 downloads available-not surprising. I chose all updates, and again while updating the 2-16-2005 detection rules, it gets to about the 85% completion point and just sits there. I stopped the program, re-ran the update, this time unchecking the2-16-2005 detection rules. Now I'm getting checksum errors in two other update categories: "English Language ", and "English lang for teatime ".
    Any solution for this?
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem yesterday, but I changed to another download location, (Safer Networking #1 Europe) and everything ran smoothly again! :)
