My email and password for Archive were exposed according to the Chrome alert.
If I log in to Archive and start downloading files, can someone else log in with me at the same time and change or insert malware into the files I’m downloading?
Before logging in and downloading from Archive, I scanned my PC for malware and found nothing.

In case you're not, just change your password.

I was gonna say probably not but then I went there and it says "AI-first influencer marketing platform that drives results" and ... maybe?

As said, just change the password.

It's likely that the address of your browser's blank page has been changed and you're being redirected to a fake website, which is loading this warning.
 
Yes, I already changed the password but before changing the password I downloaded 7z files, will it be necessary to download again?

org or .com I put it randomly because I didn't remember

No the file contents should not be changed if you are not infected in some way.

.com or .org makes a huge difference in this case. .org is the internet archive nonprofit that runs the wayback machine, .com I have no idea.
 
My PC is not infected because before downloading I used an antimalware scan
But if someone has my archive.org password and login and that person logs into archive.org on my account at the time I am downloading files from archive.org o loged my account, can that person modify the files I am downloading? two logins in same time

Unless YOU have the rights to modify the files, no. But why not just change the password?
