Does anyone know where I can find the complete cannon history of the Marines Malevolent that I can download?

Thanks in advance for your help.

That's a bit complicated, they have no major single source of background, but appear in or are the protagonist of a couple of scattered short stories, some OOP Imperial Armour books and have additional side-plots in the (very bad) Salamanders series of novels. Lexicanum has a list:

Also in the 3rd War for Armageddon global campaign website from 2000, now only viewable via the Wayback Machine.

For a basic rundown, imagine the most condescending, arrogant, self-centered person you can think of, then times that by a thousand. That's your average Marines Malevolent Astartes.
If you pick up the novel Iron Kingdom, there is a unit of Marines Malevolent featured.

Ok than, thanks for your input, I'll have to see if I can get ahold of that book.

After reading up on their history on the Lexicanum I have to post this link to a WH40k Youtube video just for laughs
