It's a (large) torrent site.

If it happens that one file is infested kaspersky will notify me, and
if its a rar file during its extraction again kaspersky will notify
me( if the particular file is had some malware inside it.. )

Just a little added note to this statement - the word "malware" should be
replaced by the two words "known malware", that is to say, known to the
detecting software (kaspersky) in this case. Keeping it updated is not only
*not* a perfect solution, it is not, really, even possible (unless the
malware authors are nice enough to provide them with samples before they are
otherwise released).

That's a very good point because such places often park new malware that is then used in a
downloader. Since the site is considered OK and not blocked by such things as some
FireWall rules or etc/hosts files, the new unknown malware can more readily be downloaded
and installed.

No, but more of them could lead to malware by redirection, especially if
the "new malware" exploits browsers or their extensions. Some may get
high placement on google's list by artificial means (spamming links for
instance). Like many anti-malware applications, Google can only warn you
of ones it knows are suspect.
