Well if no one will care, then let the virus attacks remain a threat in this website. I could have had kept this incident to myself and not care for other's but I didnt.
Goodluck to all.
Been here since October of 2008. Never had any kind of problem with the site. If your computer is already a haven for viruses, spyware, etc., then you could get pop-ups and redirects no matter where you are online. By the way, Norton is no guarantee you are spyware free.
Go to www.superantispyware.com. Download the free version, update it, run it, and clean that junk off your computer.
Also, not accusing, but if you visit lots of "tasteless" sites, you are sure to get garbage on your computer.
Good luck.

It is for reasons like these that I ditched Windows and run Linux. I can freely go to those links all I want. :D
If I run my BitDefender antivirus program arger visiting Chess.com, the antivirus indicates that it found and removed @bluestreak.txt">(myname)@bluestreak.txt and @bluestreak.txt">(myname)@cbcca.122.2o7[1].txt
If I run the antivirus program before visiting Chess.com, no malware is detected.
I definitely think that Chess.com is causing this malware.
Thank you, ndrwknght!!! I'm not alone indeed! Cheers, mate!
Anyway, had no recent problem because I only visit chess.com once in a blue moon now. The malware attacks really turned me off. A lot of my games here I have abandoned because of it.
