Yes you can.

Install AVG then on whatever search engine you use, next to every displayed result should be a Green Star with a tick in it, this shows if the webpage is safe or not.

Move your mouse over the Green Star to view the details such as when the website was last scanned. If you do somehow click on an unsafe site, then AVG will give you a message warning you, and you will be able to leave it before actually connecting to it.

Also because AVG is a trustsed and well known anti-virus, the results will be reliable.
