Generally it's safe to install the 32bit version of software... I've never had any issues with trying, other than having to uninstall it because it doesn't work.

To be on the safe side, see if you can avoid having it installed to launch at windows start or it could be slightly more annoying to uninstall it *if* it happens to cause crashes for you.
