safe (the last time we checked it, it was), but for your peace of mind (and better safe than sorry) we advise you to run an
antivirus on the downloaded file. Do not rely on MSWindows, Internet explorer, or on the electronic signature: a unsigned download is usually as safe as a signed one, signed just means the author paid Microsoft or Verisign for a stamp, it does not mean verified. Please kindly
