True - but since the tool is strictly opt-in only, are we a bit too critical of the tool? Personally I don't use any such av tools or have any stakes in cryptocurrencies. But in a way they are providing an option for less tech savvy people to mine cryptocurrency right? Would've been better if the crypto component was not installed by default, but still. As many mentioned, there's also the question of the education component to the users - how much good a job the tool does in providing proper awareness to people who go opt-in to the tool, on what they're getting into. Personally if I were to use such a tool, I'd prefer that.

I think what is wrong is telling people they will earn cash while the electricity bill will make so that only Norton will get money instead. All this while increasing global warming and energy waste.

It may be opt-in but there is just nothing good in it.
