Google Chrome now shows certain torrent sites as malicious and evil. The reasons are probably political but given the open nature of torrents it is possible to get malicious software from using torrents or usenet for that matter unless you protect yourself. A VPN won't help against viruses but it will help you protect your privacy and identity online allowing you to use sites and services safely.
Please torrent safely by using a VPN like Private Internet Access or PureVPN which work on all operating systems.
