My installer looks like this:

The fact that it says “unsigned” hints to me that it is an unsigned installer and that creeped me out considering all of the recent cybercrime activity, so I took a peek at the reviews on SourceForge.

There were many of them in sufficient enough detail that the program at least didn’t “seem” like a fake virus. I say this, but I do think its kind of not possible to just glance at a wall of text and determine if it was written by organic customer growth, and AI, and/or a click farm.

I go ahead and run the installer at my own risk .(scawwy)
