Need to download the latest version of Internet Explorer but can't find secure Microsoft website?

Question

I've downloaded the latest version to my desktop ready to be installed but I'm not comfortable installing in because it never came from an encrypted source. I've tried accessing Microsoft.com using https but it returns an error. I can't believe a site like Microsoft hasn't got ssl encryption for it's downloads... That's beyond madness if correct and it leaves people wide open phishing attacks.

BTW, I can't use automatic updates at the moment otherwise I would use this source.

So, does anyone know a link to a secure version of Microsoft's website?

if you get taken back to the correct page,

and you can see at the top of the page
