My best solution to avoid such type of manipulation is using a Linux operating system which would surely keep you secure from such spammy scripts in the future.
I use Linux too and yes for now it feels safe but that does not mean that someone out there will not consider making malware for Linux too. I think the reason we don't have so many such cases in Linux is because it does not have a big user base as windows so making malware for Linux does not seem profitable and feasible for the hackers.
Care always has to be taken care off regardless of the operating system because you never know on which side of the bed the hacker might wake up from one day
Some faucets site have auto install script so even you are not clicking any ads the malware or virus will automatically install in your system.
So to avoid getting infected or attack by hackers use an updated antivirus that supports crypto protection like Kaspersky total security.
Add the NoScript add on to the list. I currently use it in Mozilla Firefox and it blocks all suspicious scripts while you browser through different web pages. The power is in your hands on what script to unblock and which to keep blocked. This can prevent necessary downloading of malware or infection of your web browser without your knowledge.So to avoid getting infected or attack by hackers use an updated antivirus that supports crypto protection like Kaspersky total security.
