To fix this, perform a factory reset of your router and install the latest version of firmware. It appears that your router was hacked. Are you using Mikrotik? What model?

Its not my router i reset it aswell

If your router is one of the vulnerable TP-Link ones, a reset is not enough. You will have to apply a firmware update if one is available from TP-Link to the router .

If you have an opportunity to try a router of a different brand, please do so and let us know if the issue goes away. I'd also suggest trying SysRescue and the browser included with it to see if the alert is still triggered to rule out a local system infection.

Hi,

we have many of this infection notifications since friday, could there be a bug? Different mashines and different routers. (private home office and different business locations)

I'd suggest creating a SysRescue medium, booting from it and opening a website through the built-in browser. If the threat is detected, it's likely either the router or ISP that was compromised.

Install the latest firmware available for your Mikrotik router and reset it to factory settings. Reinstalling Windows won't help since it's router that serves a CoinMiner script.

Hi Marcos, your reply is really helpful, it solves my problem. I was so stressed of annoying popup JS/Coinminer.AH

It was really unexpected that the cause would be MikroTik router and yes when I check my MikroTik settings, the Firewall rules and NAT had been changed.

Again, thank you.
