Trying to download PrintShopMac_1.2.2.dmg. Problem said that the file was too big for Google to scan. That this file is executable and may harm computer. Should I download anyway?

When I tried to download PrintShopMac_1.2.2.dmg. This problem came up - that the file was too big for Google to scan. Did I still want to download?


That this file is executable and may harm computer.


I asked the company about the Print Shop Problem. They said to go ahead and download.



I need to know from Apple ----- Should I download anyway?

Broderbund is a real company, and when i used an Apple 2 many many years ago we used this software. I have not seen it for the mac, but I found it on the web. I’m not sure if its available on the Apple Store. Since its a dmg, its a package and even if Google could scan it, they couldn’t access it since the dmg is probably just instructions for your computer to DL the whole package. If you are asking if it's safe to put on your computer, it seems like a legit company.


Again this is my personal opinion. Nobody here works for Apple Computer.
