"is not a valid win32 application"

Blahdyblah

So i downloaded the F-Secure startup download (if it makes any difference i am with virgin media) and yet when i open the download it returns a message saying:

 

...is not a valid win32 application

 

any help on what this means and how it can be solved?

 

many thanks

The download may have got corrupt, or you downloaded a version not for Windows. Try again from the SAFE Portal 

If it still doesn't work, try from another browser.

If you're running XP you could also try right-click the file and select Properties and click Unblock if there's such a button.

If nothing works, what is the file size of the downloaded file?

What browser do you have and did you try from another browser? What Windows version?

 

Test another download as a reference, right click this link and save the file. Then check its file size:
