Leaping to the "A VIRUS" conclusion is intellectually lazy and usually wrong.

The OP's original remark included the phrase "and unpacked". That is a very good
clue that it was the source code downloaded and not the installer. The installer
is a self-extracting _executable_ - there is nothing to unpack separately.

Let's try to avoid the knee-jerk 'scare the beginner' responses.
