Is it safe?
Yes. See per CGMiner FAQs:
Cgminer is being packaged with other trojan scripts and some antivirus software is falsely accusing cgminer.exe as being the actual virus, rather than whatever it is being packaged with. If you installed cgminer yourself, then you do not have a virus on your computer. Complain to your antivirus software company. They seem to be flagging even source code now from cgminer as viruses, even though text source files can’t do anything by themself.
Our recommendation is to always ensure you are using a secure workstation to store your Bitcoin DX wallet and to add an AV exclusion if required.
