Hello David
The software will not harm your computer. That message is Windows’ way of
telling you it doesn’t recognise the download and issuing a warning. I have
installed the Windows and Macintosh versions from that source many times (it is
regularly updated necessitating a fresh download) and no harm has come to my
home or work computer.
Up to you!
Cheers
