Please note that Postgres 12 just reached end-of-life with the release
of 12.22.  You should upgrade soon.

This looks like some antivirus scanner or other malware protection is
kicking in.  Where did you get postgis_3_4_pg12.exe from?  The official
Windows releases on [1] use different filenames.

Hello,

Please clear your browser cache and try again, sometimes these types of issues occur due to wrong cache entries. Secondly don't forget to upgrade your server 12 because it's going to EOL.
