While browsing chess.com lately, I have been getting the following warning page quite frequently (using chrome):

 

Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer!
The website at www.chess.com contains elements from the site wgm-mediaserver1.com, which appears to host malware

 

The particular site listed might not be the same every time (I haven't kept track), but this has happened perhaps 6-7 times in the past couple of weeks.  I'm not really too worried personally, but I thought someone might want to know...

This is actually typically a problem with Norton AV, if you are using that, I might recommend switching... either way, heres more information on this issue: http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=699 

But, long story short, you are probably fine.

No, I don't use Norton, and I'm not worried or concerned.  But I thought the staff here would want to know, that's all.
