Trying to install Secunia PSI (Flexera). Warning that the MS Update page is dangerous(!). Win10

I was re-installing Secunia PSI after a Clean Install. After hitting download, I got the usual "This isn't an approved App from the MS Store". I continued and then this screen came up:

I switched from Chrome to IE11 and got this:

So I clicked on "Install Microsoft Update" and got this warning:

I realise it says *"This might mean..."*but it says emphatically that I must close the site immediately - no ifs/no buts.

Am I correct in presuming that the final warning was a Microsoft-generated warning? What should I do now please?

    Hi Taffy. I'm Greg, a volunteer installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Are you using the latest version of Secunia PSI from here? https://secuniaresearch.flexerasoftware.com/sup...

    If so you can click Advanced and allow the software past the warning because it's an anomaly.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    Brilliant. Thank you Greg.

    I had the usual PSI nonsense at first "Your 60 programs are up-to-date 100%" with the next screen saying 86% and a list of 53 programs! But I'm used to those idiosyncrasies;  reopening it showed 100% score and a list of 69 programs.

    Many thanks - much appreciated.

    PS It seems strange using the word 'programs' again, not Apps!
