Chess.com puts some ads in their server. While the majority of these ads are harmless, some of these ads contain PUPs. Install Adblock Plus to block these ads.
I was reading a thread titled "Another hosted virus on chess.com" when I realized the virus came from ads, and that must mean people are not using Adblock Plus.
Once again, I have to stress the importance of Adblock Plus. Go to Tools > Addons and search for it. Install it immediately; all ads will be blocked.
If, for some reason, you still see ads, you can block them manually. The ad on the live chess server has to be blocked manually.
I remember my last computer was destroyed by a Trojan Horse that came from an ad. Moral of the story: don't click on ANY ads.
Stay safe and happy browsing. :)
