Comment (by earnoth):

 I'm experiencing this same activity.  When I visit
 ​http://pidgin.im/download/ and I click download for Win32, I'm sent to
 this link:
 http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pidgin/Pidgin/2.10.11/pidgin-2.10.11.exe

 I've tried this twice, and each time Chrome complains that the file is
 malicious.

 I uploaded it to VirusTotal, which says the AV vendor "Rising" claims it
 is infected by "PE:Trojan.Win32.Generic.141A9A33!337287731".

 The SHA256 for the file is
 2a2c58cba5f9360f5f48cc59ccb5e1f82d59c3cc87a52648e9bd45b3968e10e3
