JS.miner.js firefox.exe(website was accessedfrom firefox.exe Seems it some sort of java script ? I have installed bitcoin ages ago,but dont run it often. How can I remove this from starting up on its own ? Any ideas please guys. Title: Re: Bitcoinplus.com js miner? Post by: MtRev on June 29, 2011, 06:13:54 AM Which antivirus scanner are you using?
Title: Re: Bitcoinplus.com js miner? Post by: SgtSpike on June 29, 2011, 06:15:50 AM It's a web-based CPU miner. Horribly inefficient, and forces you to use extra electricity while you are visiting the site. I am personally boycotting any sites that attempt to use my CPU without my consent, and I would suggest you do the same.
