I believe that the answer is "yes"................I have heard of McAfee and AVG (Grisoft) flagging up infected web pages. I have no details as to whether this was deliberate on the part of the site, or it had just become infected itself.
Also, some sites will try to change your homepage.........if they can do this they have to be able to hit you with a virus?
I have a couple of tutorials in the antivirus section regarding " countermeasures"....you might like to try some of this complementary defensive software.
Anyhow...make sure that you keep your AV up to date.
I do not have a link but there is an outfit called "Finjan" who have a "free" product called "surfinguard" or something like that.....If you are in the habit of surfing on the wildside...you might give it a look
Be safe
