I just checked the site, (re-)downloaded the installer, and checked it for viruses with Windows Security Essentials. All clean, and no hitches in accessing the site or the download.

Quite often, I can get browsing error messages - but in most cases this is because the designer has not complied with the necessary 'standards', when creating their web pages. Unfortunately, it seems to be the reason here. If this helps, I have attached an official "W3C report" - which shows that there are 26 definite 'errors' plus 5 other 'warnings', for that web page. In my personal experience, this mainly appears to affect any domains which are hosted on 'free' services - normally within Europe, and/or Australia. Just remember that not everyone will be using "Microsoft Windows" software for their web-browsing, and so you would either need to test your pages on alternative computer 'platforms' (Apple/Linux/Risc/Solaris/etc) - or to be absolutely sure of avoiding the problems, it is much easier to just design your web-pages to the relevant standards (which is the reason for them) !
