Hi there. Acquia Drupal is the same software as what you would download here at Drupal.org, but it has been assembled in a convenient package. So it shouldn't be any more or less "safe" per se.
If you need help with Drupal, you can get it from Acquia through an Acquia Network subscription. Community level subscriptions are free through the end of the year. More info is available at http://acquia.com. The Acquia FAQ ( http://acquia.com/faq ) should address many other common questions.
Acquia Drupal is all Open Source so anyone can look into it and find whatever malicious code they might think is tucked in there (there is none that Acquia knows of). If there are security issues found in component modules of Acquia Drupal, those are patched in a timely manner, ensuring that the upgrade path for modules shipped with the distribution works.
I have tried to download the latest versionof this package at: http://acquia.com
and when I unarchive the archive it is currupted every time. any clue, tried to download it about 5 times and just gave up.

and just to make your sleep much better:
Acquia is founded by the founder of Drupal. So Acquia should be the most trustworthy company in the drupal world. :-)
