What does installing a crypto miner have to do with computer security?
So taking 100% of the profits from surreptitiously installing a bitcoin miner is bad, but taking 15% is not bad?
There's no point in them saying 'but it's opt-in' or 'but we tell you during install'. They know full well that it's going to be ignored. And because it's not a normal part of any security suite, who would expect it to be there anyway? I know I wouldn't. It's disingenuous and they know it.
Typical of that poisoned brand anyway. For the last 18 years or so, it's been a scam. I remember I bought Norton 2003 for resale to customers and it was just about OK. After that, it got to be the resource hog and scam-monster it is today.
