Is file.net a safe website?

If you look at the comments it says that it downloads something on your pc?
One engine detected this website
Can anyone tell me if this website is malicious or not?

In other words, File.Net is the same as file.net or FILE.NET
FileNet has no period, so it's completely different from file.net and has no relationship to it.
