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.This new mining feature is called ‘Norton Crypto’ and will be rolling out tomorrow to Norton 360 users enrolled in Norton’s early adopter program. When Norton Crypto is enabled, the software will use the device’s graphics card (GPU) to mine for Ethereum, which will then be transferred into a Norton wallet hosted in the cloud.
