There are other, nastier possibilties, which have happened before:

+ Some machine on the path you take to python.org has broken HW or
  SW, corrupting some files passing thru it.

+ You have a virus that damages downloaded .exe files.

Afraid the only thing we know for sure here is that *something* is broken
for you.  At least do a virus scan.  A good, free, one-shot virus scan can
be gotten here:
