[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 962973"] I won't lie, this is quite disheartening....:( They are slowly becoming what they are trying to protect us from. Furthermore, they are becoming even more bloated with even less security minded features. It's pretty bad when your major highlight for a new version of a security program is built- in crypto mining.😞 I am sure this will be added to AVG and Avast at some point as well. Sadly the security industry is like a bunch of sheep...once one does it, the majority eventually follows. I won't be surprised if we see this added to other products from other companies outside the Norton umbrella in the future... [/QUOTE]
