Cryptomining Protection extends the coverage to Cryptomining activities that do not necessarily embed malicious code (so the traditional layers will not pick them up) but can be dropped/running on the system without the user knowing. This is what the new feature actually brings to the table.

Briefly explaining, bitdefender free web attack prevention technology (phishing + malicious website blocking) will protect you from crytomining website.

Bitdefender introduced Cryptomining Protection in Bitdefender Total Security to offer enhanced defense against cryptomining threats, even though it already uses signatures and behavior blockers. Here’s why this feature was added:

Based on my findings, you have a Total Security subscription, so the Cryptomining Protection module should be available for you as well. You can enable it by accessing the Bitdefender app, then go to Protection -> Cryptomining Protection to switch it ON, as shown in the below screenshot:
