Norton 360 users will have access to the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining feature in the coming weeks.
The antivirus developer claims that the new mining method is simple and safe. Before that, for many years, miners had to take risks and disable security tools, they say in the company. This is true because a lot of antivirus software mistakenly identifies mining programs as dangerous.
It looks like the Norton system will use a “pool” – where miners contribute their computing power, and the reward is then divided among everyone, depending on the contribution of the computer. Such “pools”, however, can take away 1% of the profit. If Norton follows this model, it will be able to make money from it. In addition, the mining process is energy intensive, which means that users of the Norton solution will receive large electricity bills.
