for clarity.)
My thought was to keep dignity and refinement for the authorized
download site / pages but add the tacky flashing warning for those sites
adding malware and/or ?? thus making life miserable for the unaware
(serves the unkind sites right for promoting other than OO written).
I am not sure what "And by the way you only install it once" fits into
our chat about ways to warn newbies to ensure they get the correct
download to start with.

That sounds great, Martin.
Could a download script be smart enough to recognize (via
non-editable script section) if it is being downloaded from an
authentic site/page and flash a nauseating "Warning - download only
from . . . " (blurb similar to your suggestion) if it wasn't?
Flashing a warning large enough to fill at least 1/3 of the screen
would definitely get some attention and, probably, scare a lot of
people!
Why not display it to all, no difficult programming is required. And
by the way you only install it once.
Thanks for listening
