I accidentally made a typo when typing a site address. I quickly caught it and hit X before the site even loaded. I went to site-advisor and typed in the address of the typo and it said that it had links to a suspicious website, which had either a virus on it or problems. If this website didn’t even load, could I still get a virus from it?
Yes it is possible,

Hi Andrew,
You are probably OK.
It would be a good idea to do an anti-virus scan just to be safe.
If nothing "shows up" you should be fine.
Kudos for being observant.
