  One effective method to block websites that mine cryptocurrency without consent is to use browser extensions or plugins that specifically target and block mining scripts. These extensions can detect and block the scripts used by websites to mine cryptocurrency, ensuring that your computer is protected. Some popular extensions include MinerBlock, No Coin, and Anti Miner. Install these extensions on your browser and they will automatically block mining scripts from running on websites you visit.

  Another effective method is to use ad-blockers that also have the ability to block mining scripts. Ad-blockers are designed to block intrusive ads, but they can also block mining scripts as they are often considered unwanted and intrusive as well. Popular ad-blockers such as uBlock Origin and AdGuard have options to block mining scripts, so make sure to enable this feature in the settings of your ad-blocker.

  At BYDFi, we understand the importance of protecting your computer from unauthorized cryptocurrency mining. One of the most effective methods we recommend is to regularly update your antivirus software. Antivirus programs often have features that can detect and block mining scripts, so keeping your antivirus software up to date will ensure that you have the latest protection against these threats. Additionally, you can also enable the built-in security features of your operating system, such as Windows Defender for Windows users, to further enhance your protection against unauthorized mining.
