    I think I found an inactivated Trojan Coin Miner Malware. Help


    Hello, like the title states, I think I have found a Trojan Coin Miner. I was scrolling through my system files and opened Program Files x86 and found 2 files of apps I NEVER downloaded/installed. They are called Alucsoft and ATTRACTIONjhoApplication.

    Protecting yourself from In-Browser Miners

    Thanks for pointing this out Cliff S. My wife was victim of one coin miner. And it wasn't restricted on the site viewing, but started with browser.


    Special extensions that prevents coin mining are available for almost all of the browsers (Chrome, FF) out there. Also usual blocking extensions can be updated with coin mining lists like you mentioned for hosts file.

    This is part of the list, if you go to FF extensions site and type coin in search:
