New description:

 Most flavors of the Check Point firewall will block the GTK+ download
 during the normal Windows Pidgin 2.7 install owing to the User-Agent that
 is used, which contains NSISDL, if the Check Point SmartDefense/IPS
 feature is enabled and is using the "Header Rejection" templates. Only the
 Pidgin "offline" Windows installer can be used behind one of these
 firewalls.
