I do not use Windows, and my system is protected by Firewalls, and a Virus Checker. One of the links above appears to contain malware.
Malware appears to be a string of codes that can infect your Window computer. You can find out what Malware strings look like from going to Google. The following message is from Chessbase:
(Website in question deleted by me).
"In our previous coverage of the event we gave a link to the "Russian Chess" web site, which had English language information. Unfortunately the page had malware attached to it, as a number of readers pointed out just minutes after we had published our report. The page attempted to download code with suspicious functionality. This could include trojans, link to other infected pages, or spyware to spoof the content of a banking site. It need not be the case – there are some innocent pieces of code that may look like malware to the heuristic detection routines of a virus protector, but in the interest of our readers we of course immediately removed the link. The brave and technically advanced amongst you can visit the site – DELETED – and check what is causing the alarms. To the readers who were close to cardiac arrest when their virus or zone alarms popped up we sincerely apologise".
Many of us for years have been going to that site for downloads and information on Russian Chess.
Any new information will be posted here.
