Brominer.com has a trojan in my Firefox browser despite reinstalling my Windows OS many times!
Hello,
My Anti-Virus Malwarebytes app is frequently reporting a Trojan inside the Firefox browser. This problem has persisted since a long time ago, where I have reinstalled my Windows 10 many times, and deleted all the data (other than bookmarks) from Firefox such as stored passwords, cache and etc.
I hope to get a solution where I do not need to install any programs on my computer as I'd like to keep my computer clean of installs or reinstalls which are temporarily.
If that is not an option, please tell me any way. This will become a desperate problem for me in the future if it is not resolved.

This is "Website blocked" report. It means, that a trojan is not inside the Firefox browser, nor in your system, but on the website.
Hello, but I'd like to point out that I haven't visited Brominer.com for a very long time. I once visited it, and I don't think other websites I visited, which I'm pretty sure are clean websites, would be holding on to the Brominer.com Trojan.
I use a virtual machine to browse explicit websites which is a Google Chrome.
And ever since I installed Malwarebytes, I could no longer access Brominer.com as it will be automatically blocked.
