  Yes, there are several ways to detect and block websites that use Coin Hive without your consent. One method is to use browser extensions or plugins that specifically target Coin Hive scripts. These extensions can detect and block the mining scripts, preventing them from running on your browser. Another option is to regularly monitor your computer's resource usage and look for any abnormal spikes in CPU usage, which could indicate the presence of Coin Hive mining scripts. Additionally, you can also use ad-blockers or anti-mining extensions that block known Coin Hive domains. These tools can help protect your computer and prevent unauthorized mining activities.

  Absolutely! It's important to protect your computer and prevent websites from using Coin Hive without your permission. One way to do this is by regularly updating your antivirus software and running scans to detect and remove any malicious scripts. You can also configure your browser settings to block JavaScript, as Coin Hive scripts rely on JavaScript to operate. Another effective method is to keep your browser and operating system up to date, as software updates often include security patches that can help prevent unauthorized mining activities. Remember to always be cautious when visiting unfamiliar websites and avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files.
