Yes.

Viruses and other harmful "malware" are often hidden in apparently innocuous programs.

You should always be very careful about downloading any programs from websites which you might be unsure about, or of programs obtained by following links in emails.

Always have up-to-date virus protection and other security measures and always run it.
