I must say that I do not have any warnings or other thing that would cause a negative experience on the forum. Unfortunately, on my mobile device, I get a number of PUP popups.

On my PC machines I run Comodo Internet Security 10.

Just as a FYI - I get the same warnings and blocks from Kaspersky whether using Firefox, IE, Edge or Chrome...

I still get the same warnings as Don. I'm using Malwarebytes.

Today I get no messages if I use internet explorer .

If I use Chrome I was still getting the coinhive message so I flushed my cache from chrome but now I get the coinhive blocked message AND go.pushnative.com has been added.

If I view the site with Edge I'm warned about coinhive , pushnative and now deloton.com


Personally I don't think this is Shrapnel. Why are there different warning for different browsers... ??

Still no warnings about the site using IE.....I think these alert systems are too sensitive

The entire situation is frustrating for us, Shrapnel and everyone using these formations. What I would like to do is resurrect Vlad the Impaler and send him on a mission against malware authors :mean:

Currently, some experts refer to the technique of hijacking users' browsers for cryptocurrency mining as "cryptojacking."

Some have also predicted the Coinhive cryptojacking disaster. For example, at least two ad blockers have added support for blocking Coinhive's JS library — AdBlock Plus and AdGuard.

In addition, developers have also put together Chrome extensions that scan your browser and terminate anything that looks like Coinhive's miner script — AntiMiner, No Coin, and minerBlock.

While this year might be remembered for the WannaCry and NotPetya ransomware outbreaks and the CCleaner and Equifax breaches, silently, cryptocurrency miners have been one of the most active and prevalent threats.

This past two weeks, Kaspersky reported seeing over 1.65 million computers infected with cryptocurrency mining malware in the first eight months of the year, and IBM also reported a spike in cryptocurrency malware installed on enterprise networks.

Currently, according to the Coinhive team, the library's launch appeared to have exceeded expectations. Even if developed with good intentions, Coinhive's name and reputation is bound to be smeared in the dirt if malware authors continue the trend they're currently on.
I have added No Coin to Chrome. I'll let everyone know if there as a change at my end
