Not necessarily, the "uncoached" site may have been vulnerable at one
time to an exploit to redirect visitors to another site that indeed
hosts malware. If Virus Guy wants a malware sample he would have to
visit the malware server site not a redirection exploit site that might
not be continuing to redirect users. Sometimes it is an advertisement on
an otherwise legit site that gets a site marked as suspicious.

Aka; Malvertisement.
