Hello Lekshmanan.

Don't open files that contain malicious content. That link is not a webpage, but a file, as you can notice by the extension in the URL.

I am not sure how accurate your report is about the virus detection. By default, all downloads are scanned by the installed antivirus (if any) before they are stored/opened.
