What is Anti-WebMiner?
Anti-WebMiner protects your PC against web cryptocurrency miners (JS scripts like Coinhive executed in the browser) by modifying Windows hosts file.
Why? The coin mining in a browser using scripts like Coinhive is a real problem for everyone. These scripts may cause your browsers working slow or fully unresponsive, drain a battery of your notebook. Any webmaster may add only one line to a code of website to start monetizing by coin mining.
How to Protect? Anti-WebMiner blocks scripts using a "blacklist" database of hosts like "Coinhive". Anti-WebMiner modifies a Windows hosts file for disabling connection attempts to "blacklisted" sites.
