  • Coinhive.com - Some Type of Malware

    My Malwarebytes is blocking the above mentioned website when I am logged into ChessTalk.

    This has been mentioned in the new advertising policy thread Larry recently started.

    Maybe info on progress by CMA dealing with this could be posited here now..........malware should be treated in a separate thread, in my view, so all are aware.

    Thanks.

    My CPU usage on my desktop zooms up to 99% as soon as I connect to Chesstalk.

      Install a browser addon or blocker to keep the crypto miners in check and your CPU should function as normal, antivirus should do the same ...if it's up to date. Note, a crypto miner can also be embedded into an app.
