Wait, what? I thought this was going to be a ransomware product. What in the world is going on here?
- azornathogron 5y agoSnake-oil company realises there is a new and poorly tapped market they can go for.
- LegitShady 5y agoMy bet is in the long term a distributed crypto mining scheme where it uses the powers of everyone's grandmother's computer that still has norton installed.
- dane-pgp 5y agoYeah, presumably computers will come with a "free trial" of a Norton Suite, which, after the trial period expires: 1. will not even pretend to improve your security, 2. will nag you for credit card information to extend the service, and 3. will continue to mine cryptocurrency in the background, to be "safely" stored in Norton's cloud wallet, which Norton will periodically reap "expired" coins from.
