JS/Miner
My latest virus scan found and quarantined a trojan called JS/Miner. Does anyone know how to remove this? Or what it does?

I had the same issue. After poking around the file itself, it seems that your antivirus and the mine detect the javascript of coinhive, a script embedded in webpages using the power of your computer to mine Monero crypto money (a cousin of Bitcoin) for the owner of the website.
I would suggest installing an ad-blocker on your web browser to rid yourself of these king of scripts and ads.
