# Compatibility
Windows XP/2003/Vista/Seven/8/8.1/10 32-bit and 64-bit
# Why?
The coin mining in a browser using scripts like Coinhive is a real problem for everyone.
These scripts may cause your browsers working slow or fully unresponsive, drain a battery of your notebook.
Any webmaster may add only one line to a code of website to start monetizing by coin mining.
# How to Protect?
Anti-WebMiner blocks scripts using a "blacklist" database of hosts like "Coinhive".
Anti-WebMiner modifies a Windows hosts file for disabling connection attempts to "blacklisted" sites.
# Benefits!
This protection works for all browers.
You don't need to install a browser extension.
# Batch Mode
Run AntiWebMiner.exe with parameter "/c" to auitomatically check & update blacklist in background (no GUI).
AntiWebMiner.exe /c
