Its become really prevalent in very popular sites to see coinminers embedded in ads/browser popup/hijack. Most AV's should pick it up but always have an adblock/noscript addons for your browser as well.

It's there an add-on for Chrome that someone could recommend for avoiding these type of scripts?

There was a bit of a hoo hah over on Hexus recently about this. Turned out it was down to a dodgy ad being fed onto the website.
