Title: Norton 360 now has a cryptominer
Post by: xrobwx71 on January 14, 2022, 03:02:46 PM
I think it is off by default but this is fairly new news and I suggest more research.

Norton 360, one of the most popular antivirus products on the market today, has installed a cryptocurrency mining program on its customers' computers. Norton's parent firm says the cloud-based service that activates the program and allows customers to profit from the scheme.
