It's like this for very long. There is no catch really. It's McAfee Security Center which then also downloads all the components.

The server is little busy. Keep trying. So many people hate this product and yet...I guess the magic word here is FREE.

Noscript gave me a warning about an XSS and blocked it.

Unless your comp is really old with limited resources you will never notice it running. It actually runs very light.
