Ok, with the link, I performed some tests.

On my home computer (Win 7 Pro 64), I still can't donwload the file with Google Chrome. At the end of the download, Chrome warn about malware program, and provide a link to https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/4412392?p=ib_download_blocked&rd=1
If I download with Firefox, everything is ok, and analyzing file with my antivirus (Panda cloud) or the online scanner you provided doesn't report anything.

On my work computer (Ubuntu) I have a virtualbox with Windows XP 32, used only for tests from time to time. There is almost nothing installed on the system, I am pretty sure this environment is secured. It use Microsoft security essentials. Downloading the setup with Chrome blocks with the exactly same issue message (program reported as malware). After moving the setup to the system with another method: MSE doesn't detect anything.

Other information: downloading the file with Chromium 34 on Ubuntu doesn't produce any error.

Summary: There is apparently no Virus on the setup located at http://homebank.free.fr/public/HomeBank-4.6-win32.exe BUT Google Chrome flag this file as malware, and forbid its download.

After installation, the software doesn't run on windows 7 64 bit only. On windows xp 32, it runs perfectly. This is related to another issue, so I will comment or create a new one for this
