These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain belongs to CRC Consultores Ltda., a verified Colombian company founded in 2000. However, our antivirus network shows 8 different engines, including BitDefender, Fortinet, and G-Data, flagging the site for malware. This conflict suggests the website has likely been hacked to host malicious scripts or files without the owner's knowledge. The domain is over 10 years old and has a valid business registration, which usually indicates safety, but the active security detections are a critical risk. We have adjusted the trust score downward until these security threats are cleared.
