> Norton Crypto is included as part of Norton 360 subscriptions. However, there are coin mining fees as well as transaction costs to transfer Ethereum.The coin mining fee is currently 15% of the crypto allocated to the miner.
So I have to pay money to subscribe to mine Norton Crypto and then pay a mining fee on top of that? That's amazing. Are they going to partner with QuickBooks so that I can subscribe to that as well and for a low 15% transaction fee they'll handling filing the taxes for me?
If it's installed without warning, I'm sure you'll also get a lovely surprise on your electricity bill when it turns out your laptop has been mining crypto when you thought it was sleeping.
They're basically turning their installed user base into a botnet and charging customers money for the pleasure. I hope they get taken to court over it.
It is installed but not activated without warning AFAIK. According to https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v... the user must first agree to a Norton Crypto License and Services Agreement and then explicitly activate the miner before anything will happen.
