Troubleshooting I can't block browser coinminers on my system

[RoboMan]

Describe the problem

I can't block browser mining scripts

What have you tried?

Mentioned in the thread

This is... weird. I can't block coin-miners scripts on any browser on my system.

I have AdGuard for PC with a lifetime license. I have some filters, including coinminers filter. But I can't block, for example, this specific site:

Crypto-mining URL Warning!

https://windscribe.com/miner/76ymafne

(which is a referral link a user here posted so we could help him browser mine for extra Windscribe GB's).

When I load it, I get no notification from AdGuard, which is active, and my GPU and CPU numbers show I'm mining. Posted on Adguard Github page: windscribe.com · Issue #19475 · AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters and I got told they're not having that issue at all.

So, here I said: let's try another thing.

1. Installed NoCoin extension. No blocking
2. Installed MinerBlock. No blocking
3. Installed ScriptSafe for godsake. No blocking.

Right here I started thinking it was a browser issue. Tried few several others. No blocking.

Okay RoboMan, time to think. Okay, we may have some incompatibilities. Which software may be screwing web filtering? Well obviously my antivirus.

4. Disabled Kaspersky web script injection. No blocking
5. Disabled Kaspersky whole Web Module. No blocking

What else? I have OSArmor and MBAE.

6. Disabled both. No.goddamn.bocking.

So this is my lifestory, please drop a like and suscribe, If it's the first time you watch any of my videos please share it with your friends

PS: HELP OR I'M GONNA BECOME A BURNED OUT ROBOT

No matter where I move the slider, it always shows 50%. I wonder if you don't have to be logged in to use this?

Mine doen't block it either , just shows it as green

I edited my post 28.

EDIT again and now ublock is showing googletagmanager.com. RED

I think you allowed googletagmanager.com manually. This is mine at default on MalwareTips.

Ok so I added coinhive to my ublock white list reloaded the page and Malwarbytes blocked it as riskware.

No. That usually means the script is not running.

Actually chrome is now blocking this site. Same with the edge

Opera still seams to have issues but I'm talking with there Team as for some reason they couldn't reproduce it.

I sent more information that hopefully will help.

Can I please get some help from others that also use Opera? I need a screenshot from the site along with Operas built-in process viewer. Shift+Esc. Have only that site open in Opera as it's important to try measure the sites action alone. Be also sure you have the Nocoin feature enabled in settings and not using any other software/tools that would kill the mining as it's the Negative result in Opera I'm after.

Personal I get the exact same result where the CPU spikes and goes a bit above 50% and it dosen't matter if I use the first link or cut away the last line. I'll be using your screenshot in the discussion I have with Opera Team.

The random char string in the URL is my ID. If you remove it you mine for windscribe, I guess.
I'd be happy if you test with the string attached.

Webroot bright cloud detects it as High risk and infected.
Also, Yandex browser blocked the miner(blocking it since months ago )as offensive ads.
BTW this miner is legit and Avs shouldn't block this page.

Interesting, I wonder if Webroot software products detect it as well?

 

[Sunshine-boy]

Dude this webroot Bright cloud is the best URL checker out there I love it.
I think webroot products also detect it! webroot has very good web filtering.

Is that a fake site of Windscribe VPN?

Nope @SumTingWong
It's a function to mine for upgrades to your Free Account.

1mio hashes: Resert Bandwidth limitation
10mio hashes: Add 10GB to max traffic/Bandwidth
50mio hashes: One month pro

If you have made enough 10mio hash payments you don't need pro anymore. That's what I'm aiming at.
