    A Source code is the code that a program consists of before the program is being compiled, ie it's the original building instructions of a program that tell a compiler what the program should look like once it's been compiled to a Binary.

    So, you must have downloaded this from Limewire or something. WE WONT MENTION THE THING DL'd.

    Okay, so it is just warning you that an EXE file can be rewritten to make your computer do odd things, IE viruses. So, it's just that you need to get the "real" thing. Erm... best way I can explain it.
