      Oh wow. And here I thought they were one of the relatively clean ones among the crowd of McAfee and Avast!. Agreed with the top comment there that the whole industry is reeking. Seems like the only reasonable one is Windows Defender, with the only Linux alternative being ClamAV (non-shady but questionable if it's effective at all for a workstation)

        It's there mostly for the checkboxes on copliance, but it's not that bad, compared to others.

  The Norton product that provides the services here is made and sold by a different company than the one shipping crypto-mining software.
