Norton is automatically installing and running a cryptocurrency mining program in the backgrounds of their users. There is no text box asking to confirm the use of this program and is installed automatically, it runs during “downtime” on your computer . While the official announcement said that this program was exclusive to the US, international users are reporting it as well. We don’t know the exact scope yet.
To delete this program, must go into the files (Program Files/Norton) and delete the file NCrypt.exe. It will ask for the admin permission. (Some report having admin permissions on their computer but being unable to delete the program.) If the software is already downloaded to your computer, I would NOT recommend continuing to use Norton, as there is no guarantee that the .exe file won’t return in another update.
Tell your friends and family, reblog, spread this, please. It’s barely been getting any attention, and I worry that Norton is setting a precedent that other companies will repeat. However, if a large (or very vocal) part of the userbase continues to complain, it may make Norton or other companies think twice before mining crypto on your computer.
impa is so cute in age of calamity!!
Ted bundy isn't ugly, you're just a lesbian
Congratulations, this is the worst ask I’ve ever gotten
now that’s what i call ineffective tumblr discourse! featuring such hits as “why aren’t you talking about this thing you didn’t know about”, “this 3-hour-old post has 20k notes instead of 100k clearly you’re all willfully ignoring it”, “if you don’t reblog this you’re a bad person”, & more manipulative bullshit that only exists to make the person saying it feel holier than thou!
Brooo I sent this picture to my coworker almost two months ago now and today they fucking texted me from a different number that’s ONE number off from the one in my contacts I just sent this pic to a complete stranger

sometimes I look online for videogame guides and it’s almost always useless specifically because of how much of a mess I am. they’re like “here’s 500 of our best tips, tricks, and secrets!” and I’m like yes that’s all well and good but I’m here because I forgot which button opens the map and the game won’t tell me again
I don't have to much to say. I don't post often, but I am active. They/Them and He/Him. I'm in my early 20s.
