Is nrb.footprintds.com safe - Kaspersky says no - if so, why is it not safe

Simple- Kasp says that the domain safety certificate is issued by some one, on whom either Kasp has no confidence on, or doesn't even know about it. In that case, the domain could be safe, could be unsafe (hackable), or could be even malicious by itself.
If I have Kasp on, I will go by its advice. Even if it is against MS' own domain (which it isn't, but is a sub-let domain). Let MS do its security analysis and ensure that the firewalls don't flag it down.
