https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-faucet/ thoughts? I have heard of monero miners, mining from a webpage using coinhive that use the users cpu to mine while the web page is viewed. comes up as a threat but its just js that uses cpu. i think moon bitcoin etc uses these but the screenshot you posted above looks like a straight up trojan. bye bye moon bitcoin.

Malwarebytes sums up my opinion on Monero and Coinhive pretty well: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/security-world/2017/10/why-is-malwarebytes-blocking-coinhive/ It's one thing to let users opt in to mine to support a site owner, but when you slip it in without the user's consent, that's where problems lie. Too many site admins take the latter approach. Block Coinhive on site.

I wouldn't do any of this on any straight computer. Always use a virtual machine. That's just common sense when you're dealing with the seedy side of computing. And honestly, once enough people start reporting it, the ad network will fall in line. They'll lose ad revenue otherwise.
