All of these images are pointless. You did not describe or post any of your Hotspot setup/config. No idea what is happening or if this is a config issue, etc.
You need to post some real information (like the hotspot setup) so we can actually work the problem.

While I can't tell you exactly what your problem is, the images do give some things to look at:
1. It is normal to see a HTTPS error if you are trying to connect to a HTTPS enabled site before having authenticated to a hotspot - you should try a non-https page or simply use the DNS name you have for the local hotspot (or IP address) to force yourself to redirect to the login page
2. Coinhive is a crypto-coin miner software that can be embedded in webpages; people often do this to make money from idle machines that browse their site.. as you are seeing this detected as a threat and you do not know what it is then it is likely someone else has added this to your login page and I would review your router to make sure it is secure.. or ask your employees about it.

Agree to previous post in general; however, something else must be wrong, too.
As practically every client-device with recent OS (iOS, Android, Windows ...) tests the internet connection using _standard_ http, which triggers the captive portal. Or the MT hotspot.
At least, it should trigger, _unless_ the test for connectivity is failing, assuming internet conn, when it is _NOT_. This can happen in case of wrong walled garden, for example.
Or some very strange/old client device.
