I was on MacRumors, in the iPhone section.

Only one window, only one tab... It's been sitting there since yesterday. I lift the screen and my wake my Mac, and almost immediately, I am prompted for a Java Update, which I always don't do. I manually update directly from Java's website or Adobe's website for flash, if necessary.

However after closing this window, at aproximately 8:35PM PDT, 2 hours ago, Avast popped up warning of a coinhive.com "coinhive.min.js" JS:Miner-C virus exploit attempt.

I am posting this, because I had no other web pages up, at all. I have no idea how this came up, but it's worth letting others know to keep a look out.
