Chrome warned me there is a malware connected site on that page.

Hit esc before the page finishes loading - kills the connection that loads whatever it is that connects to the flagged site.

If chrome detects malware it'll block it on its own.

I'm running chrome - this works on my machine™. The malware isn't the page so you're not prevented from navigating to it, it's in some ad dynamically loaded, which <esc> stops from happening. Unless your internet connection is quite a lot faster than mine, there's plenty of time in between page display and ad load => blocked page warning.

Thanks. Your suggestion worked for me.
Of course, it could also be that the site rotates ads and only loads the malware some of the time.

Torrentfreak? I don't get any warnings in chrome. Also: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=torrentfr...

This is what Chrome told me:
Danger: Malware Ahead! Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on torrentfreak.com. Content from ox-d.traffiqexchange.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.

So it's one of their advertisers. Main problem with 3rd party ad networks =/ Hope they sort it out.
For what it's worth, torrentfreak is pretty clean.

Either adblock or ghostery is blocking that ad network, then.

Well, you can roll the dice. Depending on what OS you're on, that dice may be weighted differently...
