Definitly do not down-load from the Jananese site - it contains a problem. I don't know how severe and am not prepared to open the site farther.
The UK site, offered by Gumby, is as safe as you'll get.

Thanks Gumby, What happened playing the girls team or something:)

Thanks to masoth for the warning.

No one is offering RAW for fuji, not a full RAW program with all the bells except Fuji at a price of course. I was just wanting to keep up with the big boys.

Professional and keen photographers use this format because there is no compression of pixels or loss when using RAW software. So printed pictures should finish a better quality.

Don't print direct from RAW, it's awful, and that is the way it is meant to be, RAW is the closest thing you will get to film and a darkroom allowing you to 'process' each shot for the colour balance etc etc that you want.
It is involved but the results are outstanding.
RAW also chews up a lot of memory on the card, on mine it is about 18mb for a single shot (S7000).
I don't have the software but I have used it with someone else, forgot what the camera was but it wasn't a Fuji.
