You download and unzip files from those websites and then run them with the Internet turned off. You can inspect the source code to make sure it's ok. This article is targeted at non-technical users so a solution that relies on downloaded software is good enough. If you'd like a better solution, then I'm sure some research would serve you well.

Unplugging your machine from the network doesn't protect you either - who knows if the software leaves some temp files around containing your private keys?
