Users claim that Norton 360 antivirus installs a crypto miner on PCs

[Kent Sharkey]

gHacks[^]:

The cyber-security firm terms Norton Crypto a "feature", which will utilize your PC to mine cryptocurrency when Norton 360 detects that the system is idle. The settings will be managed by Norton.

Does their antivirus detect itself?

And conveniently they take 15% off the top.

This comes as a surprise to ... absolutely no one. Just another company providing dubious value at high prices to the uneducated.
