Perfectly safe by the way checked it in Linux just in case, nothing other than the normal trainz asset files.
I've often had my doubts about McAfee Site Advisor but I've also had my fingers burnt by ignoring it so thanks for checking it out and declaring it safe. I've downloaded the content without problem. What software do you use (Clam1952) to check these things out because, if possible, I'd like to get hold of something reliable that's not going to keeep crying wolf falsely?

Could be an idea to split this from this thread?
Basically on my PC's, Avast includes a site advisor and will scan inside archives without opening them and Malwarebytes.
I used to remove crap from other peoples infected PC's so have copies of Adaware, Adw Cleaner, a stand alone free copy of Trends Housecall. Stand alone Sofus Virus removal tool, plus a load of other stuff, rootkit removers TDS Scanners and such, similar to what Bleeping Computer use, Bleepingcomputer.com being the number 1 site for getting advice and help removing the unremovable!
There is a Linux version of Avast so I can download to Linux and scan it there with not much chance of a Windows virus or malware doing anything.
