barrym,

Definitely look into the Anit-Virus solutions others have recommended.

Also, now that you've downloaded the file, you can try:

1. Right-click on the .exe file
2. Left-click on Properties in the context menu
3. Near the bottom, you *might* see a checkbox labeled "un-block", if 
so, clear the checkbox, then Apply/Close the Properties dialog
4. Try to run the .exe again

If that still doesn't work, or there was no "un-block" flag to clear, then:

1. Right-click on the .exe file
2. Left-click on "Run as Administrator"
3. Approve the changes/running the .exe (may require an admin password)

Regards,
Adrien
