    Java coin hive trojans

    Seems to be a massive rise in the incidence of java based *coin trojans that use your computer to make other people money

    they are mainly activated by web pages

    ALL operating systems that support java are affected, that includes, windows, linux, MacOS and many many more.

    if you don't have something proactive in place i whole heartedly suggest you use something that does

    I never look at pages which refer to bitcoin, etc., but I do have Java installed for a few apps.

    Inc, do you have suggestions for the users of the various platforms? We have macs here, I wouldn't know where to start looking for a gizmo to weed those things out.
