While its true that certain types of sites have a higher incidence of malware it is not that simple.
Sites which focus on content intended for children, celebrities, porn, gambling and a few other areas have a higher risk for malware.
Sites such as Foxnews, Drudgereport, Walmart and many other mainstream sites have been compromised to serve malware. Visiting those sites was enough to allow malware into your unprotected computer regardless of the OS.
This is often done through the advertising content those sites use to generate revenue. The criminal writes the malware and inserts it into an ad. They submit the ad to the advertising company which puts it on the mainstream sites. In other cases the sites themselves are compromised when the owners fail to maintain it properly and they get hacked.
We had one customer who had a linux site compromised when they failed to properly patch the installed software.
I got one from one of Drudges connections two days ago. It came on as warning that there was a virus and I needed to click on the warning to clear it. The warning looked like a legit microsoft logo. I physically disconnect my modem and then work with my installed anti-virus software. In the past I’ve gotten caught with one of those just trying to clear the logo.
