HEUR.Trojan script miner gen malware

Can't check the pdf in office.
Would setting dns to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and using https everywhere, ublock origin extensions combined with Brave Browser (Secure, Fast & Private Web Browser with Adblocker | Brave Browser) or Opera with VPN connected help in this situation?

brvebrowser install checked by firewall..cant say where

coinhive is back...lol

Setup log? Something is trying to install another program?

Could you check startup options and scheduled tasks and try to remove suspicious one by booting into safe mode? (take caution though)

Already set dns to 8.8.8.8 in his router settings & https everywhere will not work everywhere as not all sites have a https version(even https pages have some http content). I also tried a proxy(non-https) site to open google with same result.

@Desmond David @Nerevarine can you check the pdf attachments on previous page as I am not much familiar with how ISP server cache can affect http page loading.

I am currently at work. Can check after I get home.

I've switched over to brave completely and it doesn't requires extra adblockers.

Even Brave browser would be affected if your ISP server cache itself is modifying http traffic.

Yes but there is inbuilt toggle to force https which is enabled by default. Might help him and there is no harm in trying.

Brave is a browser?
Does it have sign in like chrome?
I want to be signed into google

Yes it is a chromium based browser. It is privacy focused so doesn't allows sign in like Chrome IIRC
How can i log in in Brave browser?

There is no login feature for Brave and there wont be one in future as well. For bookmarks we are implementing Sync which works with other Brave browsers on desktop/iOS/Android. In future iterations sync would also support history and site settings and possibly passwrods. But at no point will you ever have to login to use any of these features.

Hope this helps. The Google features you mentioned are not going to be part of Brave as the application model is very different.

The problem is that not all sites have https version & btw that injected coinhive entry is also using https ironically.

Can you do the same test as before & check the entries loading at the time of page loading(menu--view--toggle developer tools look for something like network tab)?
