I am trying to download Firefox - when I click on download, I get this message: This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep Firefox Setup 8.0.exe anyway?

I need help downloading firefox. I clicked on download, a message this message appeared at the bottom of my screen: "This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep Firefox Setup 8.0.exe anyway?" Then I had the option to "keep" or "discard."
