    Hi guys. I always keeps my antispys and AVs updated, but when I tried to update Spybot S&D, it said "bad checksum." What does this mean, and should I uninstall and re-install? Thanks.

    You just need to choose a dfferent server to download from. After you do the search for updates you will see a button where you can choose from a list of servers. More than one will work but some may result in checksum errors. This happens all the time! Uninstall/reinstall will not do anything to resolve this.

    Thanks Chas. It worked! I saw the update site options before but never paid it any mind.
