Does anyone know an alternate method of obtaining Colo's HTML Maker?

I clicked on this link:
http://puremis.net/excel/downloads.shtml

Firefox 3.0.11 flags [puremis.net] as an "Attack Site", with the following message:
This web site at puremis.net has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.


When click on the "Why Was This Site Blocked?" button:

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
There must be something in your security settings you can adjust to allow that site...

Or at the very least, just use Internet Explorer to get the download..

Did you try and go to that site through a Google search? I'm pretty sure that's a Google warning and not a Firefox warning. Of course that makes no difference, but if you type the address straight in to your address bar, you should go there without any problems (except for the suspicious content).

Also, I could be completely wrong..that's always a possibility as well
