First off, it's "viruses", and second, I highly doubt it is. If you run decent virus/adware software it shouldn't be a problem anyhow.
I went to Linux, so I no longer have to worry about such. Thanks. :D
Warning for everyone

do you have the chat bar running on the bottom of the screen. i think some people were detecting "viruses" from this chat bar. you can turn it off easily though.
Is there some way to turn the bar off?

You can completely turn off chat completely in your Privacy section (Account)

Where it says "Chat Bar", use the drop down box and mark as "Never Show" then save settings at the bottom of the page

Reported unsafe where? by whom?
Which anti virus software you're using?
Does an alert appear saying a virus has been detected coming from this site?
What exactly does the alert say?

Sure, just change your settings/alerts, as for bugs, it happends, in style of phising ( or fishing, depending on which part of ze planet one comes from ), you get an e-mail from a friend on CC, you open the mail & bang, the bug get's all your adress's & automatically sends spam mails to everybody in your mailing list, t'is a pain in the Michael, but can be sorted out once aknowledged, yo!
There is an easy way to check if a website is safe or not:
http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/
In the box, type the name of the site.
[For staff: maybe it's useful to include this information in your help files, or make a "sticky" forum thread with it]

Me too. Don' t understand why only few people use Linux.

What is Linux? People have recommended me to purchase it
If you want to use Microsoft software, you can use WINE or Virtualbox, that' s no longer a problem.
If you use WinXP in Virtualbox, you need no longer virus software or firewall.

the site is totally clean. and we only run ads from top ad networks. but if you DO find a problem, please email a screenshot and description to support@chess.com . we've not yet had a problem that was our fault, but i want to be aware and vigilant if there is one.
chessozz, maybe you accidentally clicked through to one of the ads in which the hosting website was infected?

Sorry bro, when I was doing my computer course, Linux was highly recomended, just because it's free, don't mean that it's crap, maybe you don't understand the inn's & outs of Linux, but that said & done, there's plenty of other stuff on the market, to choose from, that's free aswel, yo! 
That Vista is a knightmare, I'm happy it's a gone, yo!

If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines...
|
UNIX Airways |
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building. |
|
Mac Airlines |
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up. |
|
Windows Air |
The terminal is pretty and colourful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever. |
|
Linux Air
|
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?" |
