Maybe it's corrupted under the download process. What is the exact size in bytes? Mine is 14,498,520 bytes.

File size is not correct and you have to able to extract the EXE file with winrar. Maybe you have a virus or something. Try Avira (

have no clue why AVG is calling it malware. its a false positive.
dont want to get into a cock fight over AV's however if you are already to drop AVG then you might want to try avast instead. MSE ran chaos on my machine, wasnt good.
Splash lite and pro are safe, been tested via Kaspersky, and ESET NOD 32. clean and clear.
