Is the process infected?
Im not sure where to put this, but I've been getting an antivirus popup when browsing here warning of something called JS/CoinMiner.bs.
every section and subsection I go to has it. every page of posts. Any one else getting this? |

Oh I hope not. I'm running Avast. Not seeing any messages. But I have noticing some full system slow downs a lot lately. Maybe I should a different AV?

If the same happened here I would've raised the alarm as well. I typically use Mozilla Firefox as a browser, but can access MS Edge, the last edition of IExplorer, and Google Chrome. Without signing on, the latter two browsers didn't create JS.Coinminer pop-ups. Though, I have noticed the last several weeks this Forum is no longer completely private.. Maybe that's just me not paying attention?

Re: Is the process infected?
Sorry to post back-to-back.
It was mentioned in another non-content thread a different potential Forum issue might be relevant. A phantom thread page, I think? Is there anything going on here fitting a pattern someone has been seeing as well, besides me?

I'm not worried. Tron fights for the Users.
