Do not download from that site.
I tested the downloads (which happen to be .exe files) on a Windows virtual machine - and they appear to be virus ridden.
You have been warned.
UPDATE: It installs "kingsoft antivirus" which is all in Chinese (I think!). It also installs a downloader called "tencent".
It also installs "Kingsoft Internet Security" and tries to mimic Microsoft Security Essentials by the look of it.
I managed to clean up my virtual machine - but I'm a seasoned IT professional - others may not be so lucky!

I scanned both files - KAVSETUPS_40_958.exe and ksbinstaller_s_74_17.exe - with a local scanner *and* two online scanners and nothing was found.
This is because they are packed archives, and it would seem that the anti virus scanners cannot "see" inside the archives.
Just to be sure - these are the steps that I followed: (see screenshots)
