Warning before download

[JaneGI]

Hi guys... wonder if you can help.

I was on www.mobile9.com's website and wanted to downlaod a wallpaper to my phone (HTC ONE)
When I hit the "download" tab, the following message popped up

This type of file can harm your mobile device. Do you want to keep sunrise.apk anyway ?

Will this really harm my device if I download the wallpaper... or is is a certificate issue... or because it's from a website and not an app ?

I dont want to download anything if it's gonna bugger up my phone..

Thanks for your replies in advance

You'll get that warning for every third party anything you download. However, the fact that the wallpaper is an apk file is a little strange to me.

I'm not that clued up on file names etc... does strange mean that they are usually not apk files... should I rather leave this and not download it... I dont want to take chances...
Thanks

Any wallpapers should come in as a normal picture file extension such as PNG or JPEG. I'm skeptical of the download since it's a wallpaper. APK is an application's extension. So, I'm not sure as to why they want you to download an APK for a wallpaper.
