Da, otišlo je sve u Mp3, pa danas AV rješenja više nisu ništa drugo, nego ono od čega bi trebala štititi krajnje korisnike.

Na kraju Windows Defender ostaje jedini koji zapravo radi za što je i zamišljen.

Citiraj:

Nakon probnog roka, Norton AV "rješenje" sad po defaultu dolazi s implementiranim kripto ludostima, tako da su krajnji korisnici sigurniji uz 15% provizije.

Norton 360 now comes with a cryptominer

Citiraj:

Norton 360, one of the most popular antivirus products on the market today, has installed a cryptocurrency mining program on its customers’ computers. Norton’s parent firm says the cloud-based service that activates the program and allows customers to profit from the scheme — in which the company keeps 15 percent of any currencies mined — is “opt-in,” meaning users have to agree to enable it. NortonLifeLock began offering the mining service in July 2021, but the program gained broader attention on Jan. 4 when Boing Boing co-editor Cory Doctorow tweeted that NortonCrypto would run by default for Norton 360 users. Norton Crypto lets users withdraw their earnings to an account at cryptocurrency platform CoinBase, but as Norton Crypto’s FAQ rightly points out, there are coin mining fees as well as transaction costs to transfer Ethereum.

EDIT: Popularna antivirusna rješenja sada i službeno više ne služe apsolutno ničemu, ponajmanje zaštiti od malicioznih čuda tehnike.

500M Avira Antivirus users introduced to cryptomining

Citiraj:

Avira antivirus — which has built a base of 500 million users worldwide largely by making the product free — was recently bought by the same company that owns Norton 360 and is introducing its customers to a service called Avira Crypto. Founded in 2006, Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG is a German multinational software company best known for their Avira Free Security (a.k.a. Avira Free Antivirus). In January 2021, Avira was acquired by Tempe, Ariz.-based NortonLifeLock Inc., the same company that now owns Norton 360. Like Norton 360, Avira comes with a cryptominer already installed, but customers have to opt in to using the service that powers it. In August 2021, NortonLifeLock said it had reached an agreement to acquire Avast, another longtime free antivirus product that also claims to have around 500 million users. It remains to be seen whether Avast Crypto will be the next brilliant offering from NortonLifeLock.
