checksum is a verification. All the binary bytes in the downloaded package are added up to 'check' the 'sum' and make sure it matches what was supposed to be sent.
It means you had a problem in the download and have missing or incorrect pieces.
Download the file again

This has happened to me quite frequently in the past... The answer seems to be: Only check mark 2 or 3 update downloads at one time..then select- download updates, as you always do. When those have successfully downloaded, mark 2 or 3 more and do it again...until you have them all. *if it still doesn't work with 2 or 3 check marked, do one at a time...it's quirky. Seems to be a problem most, when their server is busy... I still use version 1.4, but, there is a newer version of SpyBot -Search & Destroy available. It is version 1.5- An official answer from SpyBot is this- *"Bad Checksum" problems can be overcome in most cases by changing the download server (site) as follows: Do not click "Search for Updates" again. Using the pull-down site selection menu (between the "Search for Updates" and "Download Updates" buttons) select another server. After changing the download server click "Download Updates" again. If you get another "Bad Checksum", repeated Steps 2 & 3 (using a 3rd or 4th server if necessary) until all updates are received. Hope this helps... --- Use protection, your computer will thank you.
