Possible malware infection on chess.com?

In the past two days I've started to get redirected suddenly to a website pretending to be from my ISP, telling me I've won something and asking me to click on some links. This has been happening only with chess.com, and after scanning my computer for malware with 4 different programs (Malwarebytes Antimalware, Zemana Antimalware, rkill and adwcleaner) and finding nothing, I'm beginning to think the problems is with the chess.com site.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It is possible there is a bad ad. The site uses a third party provider.

 

If you notice it happen after a specific ad, you can report it.

Im glad im not the only one who had this issue over the weekend. Every time i started a game I was redirected to some scammer site pretending to be my ISP. Luckily it sent my antivirus crazy and terminated the connection

Couldnt play any games because of this, and spent a lot of time scanning my PC for virus and malware sad.png
