Moon bitcoin - trojan?

[moneyfornothing]

My antivirus detects trojan, when I download moonbitcoin site, named brocoiner. Is this serious?

[jankeman]

I think it's due to moonbit.co.in having the bonus miner, and when you tried to download it, your antivirus detected the miner. But it's not a virus, it's a false positive

The same problem - Windows Defenders detects Trojan:HTML/Brocoiner

Trojan:HTML/Brocoiner is a JavaScript cryptocurrency miner that is being served on web pages. When a computer visits one of these web pages, this JavaScript malware launches locally and uses the computer’s resources to mine cryptocurrency. Such mining activities can be resource intensive and can cause visiting computers to slow down.

Moonbit.co.in offers the option to mine but doesn't do it automatically. The script probably downloads as part of the webpage, but does not launch until you tell it to.

This site is safe to use, so as a previous poster mentioned, it's a false positive.
