WTF is Google Authenticator and why am I not actually getting  challenge codes?

So here is the thing.

When I donload Google Authenticator App for WIndows, it never passes Norton test, and it is reported as malware.

When I install it as Android app on my pad, it gets nothing.

So what VERIFICATION CODE is DCS site asking of me?

Still worthless. Does nothing.

I run installation, and nothing happens. So whatever!

Hi, millions of people use google authenticator, there are other authenticators out there that can be used also. 

Most people install the auth app on a phone, scan a QR and that enables the time sensitive code on the phone to be used for logins for a site, in this case DCS.
