  One of the best methods to prevent Coin Hive from using your computer's resources is by using an ad-blocker extension in your web browser. These extensions can detect and block Coin Hive scripts from running on websites. Make sure to choose a reputable ad-blocker extension and keep it updated for maximum protection.

  At BYDFi, we recommend using a combination of ad-blockers and antivirus software to prevent Coin Hive from using your computer's resources. Additionally, you can also disable JavaScript in your web browser settings, as Coin Hive scripts rely on JavaScript to run. However, keep in mind that disabling JavaScript may affect the functionality of certain websites.
