Download run dropdowns appear bogus.

I am trying to download Firefox 3.6 from your official website on a brand new laptop. I do have it on my home PC and am connected now as I am writing this.

When I get the "run" dropdown box, it appears to be bogus. I have canceled them and NOT downloaded. The different download sites appear to be foreign: i.e. tutankhamon.acc.umu.se. Others contain the words, Saudi; Halifax, and several different ones. Are these legitimate? For your information I have installed the trial anti-virus program, Trend Micro, which was an icon on the desktop of my brand new Asus laptop. The operating system is Windows 7. I am trying to download through Microsoft Explorer. I have updated Windows. Are these dropdowns from hackers or are they legitimate?

The server you mentioned is for a university in Sweden, many of the mirrors used by Mozilla are from universities.
