Yes, some have been hacked and implanted with mal-ware of all sorts.
This is why you MUST keep all your "Armor-ware" UPDATED and running Real Time protection constantly while surfing.

Yes. They can install a virus (or other types of harmful software) on your computer just as easily as they can install a viewer, script, cookie, or other software or files used to make the site works.

I'm glad you asked ..I studied this in depth last year.
If you download something from their site and whoever put it on there had a virus in their computer whether they knew it or not you would get it .
"IF" you downloaded an infected file. if you are just on their site ..just looking..no way.
If you do download something always run your anti virus just to make sure.
