[QUOTE="Anthony Qian, post: 952167, member: 91446"] With the release of Norton 22.21.6.51, Norton Crypto, a "legitimate" mining application, was also formally provided to US consumers. Interestingly but not surprisingly, Norton Crypto has been detected as Riskware by some "strict" antivirus vendors. According to [URL='https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c68beee19034d32b2baff25b470e8617ea3139d0715b50c8d8c40d90636e6dc4/detection']VirusTotal[/URL], Norton Crypto is currently detected as PUA or Riskware by six antivirus vendors, including ESET. [ATTACH type="full" alt="批注 2021-07-22 175536.png"]259825[/ATTACH] MalwareBytes previously detected Norton Crypto as Riskware.BitCoinMiner; however the detection was later removed, according to [URL='https://community.norton.com/en/forums/ncryptexe-deteced-riskwarebitcoinminer']Norton Community[/URL]. [URL='https://opentip.kaspersky.com/c68beee19034d32b2baff25b470e8617ea3139d0715b50c8d8c40d90636e6dc4/']Kaspersky[/URL], as a side note, whitelisted this program. It's unclear whether the number of AV vendors that flag Norton Crypto as Riskware will increase or decrease, but it's just ironic that a security software is detected as risky by other security products.
