Sounds like it's time to install an antivirus program.
I really don't think that chess.com has anything to do with the malware problem you are experiencing.
Most people run ad blockers if they can't afford a premium membership.

I'd say you probably have bigger problems using a yahoo e-mail account... 
I want to thank every one for your overwhelming response , I will get to your emails ASP . Thanks again .
Your virus can come from many different sources. Most likely an advert was pushing malware or adware. I have had a highly reputable news site inadvertently have one of their advertisements delivering adware. So even a good website can inadvertently harbour malware!! Rather than setting up petitions to have a reputable and ethical site like chess.com "removed" from the internet (and I am not even sure how you could accomplish such a drastic unnecessary measure in any case) RATHER you should do the following:
1. Report the offending advert that is the source of the virus or malware or adware to chess.com so that they can remove the advertiser and the ad immediately. Chances are they have no idea the advert is doing this. Remember chess.com sells advertising space to big companies like Google...who then sell the space to the companies...so chess.com may not even be aware of many of the adverts that pop up in the spaces they have sold to Google Ad Network and other advertising companies.
2. Install a reputable anti virus program on your laptop or desktop like Kaspersky or Malwarebytes. I CANNOT CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! IF YOU HAD A GOOD ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM RUNNING YOU WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INFECTED!!
3. Ensure the onboard free anti virus system Windows has that is BUILT IN if you run Windows 10 is switched ON. Ensure the firewall is ON.
4. Install an adblocker adon if you use firefox as your internet browser. However if you install a good antivirus package like Kaspersky then they scan all adverts and even can prevent adverts tracking you and gathering private information on you regardless of what browser you use.
I trust that the above advice helps you. There are some "free anti virus" programs out there but be VERY VERY careful where you install them from if a free anti virus program is all you can afford. Some of these so called free anti virus programs have been known to harbour their own viruses!!!!
So there is no need to do things like trying to get chess.com removed from the internet. That is not the correct way to go about solving your problem. Chess.com is a WONDERFUL GREAT website. I would never want to see it removed!!! Ever!
Rather follow the advice I have given above regarding adware,malware, spyware and ransomeware. GET AN ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM.... IMMEDIATELY. AND RUN A SCAN ON YOUR MACHINE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Please stop wasting your energy on "petitions".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Windows 10 "Windows Defender" will not activate if you've installed a third-party antivirus package. (Malwarebytes is an exception - It will coexist with Windows Defender with no problem.)
@EscherehcsE you are 100% correct. Windows 10 bit defender determines what elements the 3rd party anti virus system has now taken charge of and deactivates those systems/functions in Windows bit defender in order to avoid 2 anti virus systems doing the same thing. Kaspersky also works well together with the native Windows 10 bit defender.
@CourtneyFerris1997 who is your message directed at and what in the world do you mean/are you on about?
What's happening is chess.com wants me and many others to buy their membership , this would be great except for this is a poor marketing tactic . You do not invite someone in just to ambush them .
The reselling of ad spaces to third parties is the source of much of the misinformation and malware on the net. It is through this feature that online retailers get out of any responsibility for what is advertised or what is said in these ads.

Plays nothing but blitz.
3 forums posts about cheating, and viruses.
Yep...sounds legit.
I've paid for a lifetime membership so i'm not gonna be signing petitions to have chess.com removed.
IMBacon what does playing nothing but blitz have any thing to do with being legit ? And are you a IM or just a fraud ? lol

It's not an ambush. It's common knowledge that ads on chess.com cause problems. There is no surprise there. As far as it being a poor marketing tactic, it's not. It's a good one. You get hit with these problems and then chess.com offers to get rid of the problems it caused if you give them money. Not sure of the legal definition of that practice but it IS effective marketing.

OK , it may be effective marketing kind of like getting someone in a bind so they will pay you or giving someone drugs so they get hooked and buy them so yes effective but shady ..

The common knowledge is only that many people don't like ads.
If there are actually any malicious ads that link to bad sites or malware, you can report them to support@chess.com and they will be removed.
Chess.com has long offered rewards for reports of such ads. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/reward-earn-diamond-membership-by-finding-and-reporting-bad-ads

What a horrible comparison.
No one is forcing you to buy a membership.
Install an ad blocker and problem is resolved.
