If you re stil worried, hereare some tips:

     Have a good anti-virus program.

     Do not reveal any personal info to chess.com (e.g. use a fake name, fake age, fake location)

Nope.  I've never seen that notice.

I have seen this notice also.

As suggested by others I think the pop ups MAY have trojans etc

I think Erik said that for any of us receiving that alert, just ignore it for the time being.  Not to worry, there is no threat from that alert.

I get that screen all the time...I use the computer at work to log in. (It's not a very good computer but it's the only one I have access to; i don't know what kind of protection it has install).

I once made a typo and searched up chess.cm and it was a dangerous website. I think that hackers use common websites names with typos to make dangerous webistes

You do know that this thread is 15 yrs old?.....I don't think anything was safe in 2010.
