Cannot install programs on my new computer

After having used GOTD without problems on my old computer, everything has changed when I got my new computer.
I can download the program/application.
When I want to install it, it looks like GOTD is searching for allowance to do it.
Then a message pops up: The setupfiles are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the programme.
The very same Setup-file can install on my old computer.
What do I have to do ?

Please check other threads & the FAQ. Often what is happening is security software is flagging the GOTD setup.exe file as mal-ware because it's contents are packed -- a technique also sometimes used by mal-ware. All major brands of security software should allow GOTD offers by now, but sometimes it apparently doesn't work properly, e.g. in tests I've performed a fresh install of Kaspersky allows it, but old installs might not, even though they've been updated to be current. The work-a-round is to boot into Safe Mode with networking, as that's often the only way to temporarily disable security software.
