Question on "Autoit"

I'm a bit confused on the "Autoit" program. Do you have to download a core program to use it? Can someone either explain "autoit"? Or point me to a discussion thread on it someplace please?

Autoit is a bunch of tools that compile/run scripts written in the autoit syntax (basicly a scripting/programming language).

People can release there scripts in a compiled form (.exe) which doesnt require the autoit tools to be installed on users computers, but this raises questions on wether its a virus or not and they prefer to release there source instead.

Its worth downloading the tools from:
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml

So you can compile and run autoit scripts or make your own.

Thas as basic as i can explain sorry, hope it helps.
