OK, I'll update what I said...
I went back to the site and re-downloaded it just so I could show the screenshot of the AV catching the malware on installation for anyone that was doubting me. However, I got no such alert and all installed absolutely fine.
The thing I noticed is that on every download request it fetches a different (random) mirror, so I can only assume that one of the mirrors was corrupted with this malware as it plainly doesn't apply to all of them.
Thing is, almost every install of anything alters registry settings but they don't all fire off malware alerts when they do.

I did because it did! It may be exactly because of it's popularity that someone thought they could slip some malware in. There is always someone out there who wants to spoil it for others.
