NortonLifeLock, the company that offers the consumer products Broadcom didn't want when it bought Symantec, has started to offer Ethereum mining as a feature of its Norton 360 security suite. The company says, funnily enough, a better approach is to have its computer security software mine Ethereum while it runs, then store the results in the Norton cloud.
NortonLifelock has added the ability to mine Ethereum cryptocurrency directly within its Norton 360 antivirus program as a way to "Protect" users from malicious mining software. When Norton Crypto is enabled, the software will use the device's graphics card to mine for Ethereum, which will then be transferred into a Norton wallet hosted in the cloud.
