In my case it really doesn't matter. I don't mind being a guinea pig. I don't use Windows anyhow. I just have it for experimenting (like in this case) and about every three months I update it. The worst that could happen is someone could download my small library of Nook books or access a credit card I no longer have.

As far as I can tell, these downloads are just the Nook App for Windows and older versions of a C library needed for its unmet dependencies. Several people here have downloaded and installed these files and — so far — no reports of malware of any kind.
