Can visiting certain sites give any viruses, malware, spyware or adware to my MBPr?

[Hieveryone]

Sometimes I visit sites using "incognito" in Chrome so that it won't save any browsing history.

These sites give me pop ups, direct me to sites that I didn't intend to go to, and is just overall sketchy and laced with advertisements.

Is there any chance these sites could give me malware, adware, viruses or spyware?

I'm coming form a PC, and these kind of sites definitely do give all of the above to PCs.

Thanks.

EDIT: I do not install anything on my MBPr when visiting these sites. Just browse.

It's possible. Installing ScriptSafe in Chrome and then manually allowing what you need in order to use the site will greatly reduce the risk.

Yeah it is possible but highly unlikely.

What's the best way to check if I'm infected? I have ClamXav.

Use ClamXAV, it updates its database daily and more.

Thanks a lot. I'm pretty sure I don't have any sort or malware, spyware, etc. because I ran ClamXav and it said I'm clean.

That depends on what certain websites you meant
