NortonLifeLock (the name of what used to be Symantec's consumer security divison) acquired Avira in December 2020.[1] NortonLifeLock merged with Avast PLC in August 2021, with the combined company retaining the NortonLifeLock name.[2] The Verge tried out Norton Crypto and found its 15% fee to be much higher than the 1-2% fee typically taken by mining pool operators. The tester broke even after (off-peak) electricity expenses, with NortonLifeLock capturing all of the profits.[3] [1] https://investor.nortonlifelock.com/About/Investors/press-releases/press-release-details/2020/NortonLifeLock-to-Acquire-Avira/default.aspx https://investor.nortonlifelock.com/About/Investors/press-re...
