when i checked the ''This app is blocked'' and threat ''serious'' is all gone i don't see it no more

Microsoft (Telemetry) Foils Massive Coin-mining Exploit Attempt

How does Telemetry fit into this?

The description says it was blocked by Defender ("triggered behavior-based alerts").
It doesn't say:

• Telemetry reported unusual PC activity to MS
• MS analysed the Telemetry
• MS sent out a Defender update to stop the "coin miner"

That said, if Telemetry actually did something useful it deserves credit.

Telemetry certainly isn't fixing Windows Update issues though.

 

Security Intelligence Update for Windows Defender Antivirus KB2267602 and Trojan JS Coin Miner

This update has not installed and I have been trying for 2 weeks. I also have issues with Trojan JS Coin Miner which seems only to attack when I try to open certain apps. Does anyone know if these are related? Windows Defender and Windows Security haven't
got rid of it. Should I uninstall and install these 2 apps?

 

How does a browser injected coin miner work?

Thanks @simrick

I notice that we have a coin mining thread here on Ten Forums in the Antivirus section as well: Protecting yourself from In-Browser Miners Solved - Windows 10 Forums

Apparently if I had Malwarebyte's premium it would have detected the coin miner. It's the first time I've been aware of falling victim to one so will have to bolster security further!
