Just has a look at it a second time. Waited the requisite 12 seconds
and the download did not start. Clicked on the start download button
after that it still wanted to download ilivid.exe.

Maybe it's me, or IE9 that I have or something else. Sorry, but three
tries for me is enough.


Did the same for me with Chrome, downloaded an exe ... Like you, I will
not/never/ever click on executable code unless I'm 1000% percent certain
of its origin, and then maybe not.

I might try it later tonight on the iPad and Safari just to see what
happens.
