When attempting to download latest version of Pidgin using latest release
version of Google Chrome in Windows, from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/2.10.11/pidgin-2.10.11.exe/download
... one gets the error:
"The site ahead contains harmful programs

Doesn't happen if I try downloading XMing from Sourceforge, but does when
I try to download Pidgin..
Any ideas?
