Hello,

The community considers not upgrading to be riskier than upgrading.

That is why we always recommend that all users run the latest available minor release for whatever major version is in use.

If you want to read more about that:
https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/

Nevertheless if you really "needs" 9.3.3, the following link worked for me:
http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-9.3.3-1-windows-x64.exe

Because we care about our users, and don't want them to install buggy versions.
9.3.3 has lots of security issues, data loss bugs and other bugs, and it is 3
years old. Please use 9.3.14, unless you have a very strong reason to use
9.3.3.
