How can I tell if "dl.mycodecs.net is safe to download

I downloaded a file last night and its now saying that I need to download [url]http://dl.mycodec.n*t[/url]. How can I tell if it's safe or not to download. Please advise as I'm not too teck savvy and I don't want to mess up my computer if Kaspersky doesn't block anything malicious.

Not nice to link malicious website even if you are tech savvy or not. These companies either embed keylogger, ask for money or harmful virus. Even pirated movies dont need specialized codec which u seems to be doing. If wary, get vlc. Vlc comes with most codec so u can avoid site like that. If vlc can't play, just delete and move on.
