Nobody competent with computers is going to be using Norton. It'll show up on gram and gramps home pcs, and they'll have been running it for a year before they proudly mention: "I've been mining NortonCoin to save money on my anti-virus subscription!" Or whatever bullshit Norton sales gremlins have fed them.
Their demographic is people who don't know better, and this whole thing reeks of illegal consumer exploitation.
- wlesieutre 5y agoA lot of people's grandparents are going to earn $10 of "free money" with this utility and have no idea that it cost them $200 of electricity. Meanwhile Norton's laughing all the way to the bank with their 15% off the top. (disclaimer: numbers totally made up, but I'm sure the average Norton user's computer isn't mining profitably)
