I tried to log on to the Digital Bits site today like I aways do every weekday but I was greeted by a warning from Google that the site is infected by Malware and logging on may cause problems with my computer. I never had any problems with any kind of virus on my Mac computer and I was told I have nothing to fear because all Macs are supposed to be immune from any kind of viruses. Does this also include Malware?

Most likely, the malware in question was written exclusively for windows. But as Macs increase in popularity, the number of exploits for the platform will likely increase.

Macs are no more "immune" to an intrusion than any other OS, linux or otherwise. Windows is the largest market, so from an attackers' standpoint it makes the most sense to engineer and attack that will have the greatest impact.
