When I was trying to open some user's page here I got a warning from Kaspersky that that page contains elements from a site that hosts Malware and could be harmful to my computer. Have you had such an experience here? Would you still open someone's page despite that warning?

I would take such warnings seriously and, if it was from a link on someone's profile (or from a link in a discussion), I would report it to MyLot. I have done this in the past and action was taken very quickly.

That should definitely be reported to MyLot if it happens repeatedly (once can be a mistaken report by Kaspersky but if you get it every time you go to that person's profile, then that person has put some link or widget on the page which Kaspersky thinks is dangerous.
To report it, go to http://www.mylot.com/o/contactus.aspx and, in the drop down list, scroll to the bottom and select 'Other'. Here you can type a message to admin. Give them the URL or the username and the exact message which Kaspersky gives when you try to open that page.

i haven't tried or experienced it yet, but if ever i get warnings from personal websites i will not definitely open them, personal (unpopular) sites might contain exploits..
