According to VirusTotal, Norton Crypto is currently detected as PUA or Riskware by six antivirus vendors, including ESET. MalwareBytes previously detected Norton Crypto as Riskware.BitCoinMiner; however the detection was later removed, according to Norton Community.Kaspersky, as a side note, whitelisted this program.It's unclear whether the number of AV vendors that flag Norton Crypto as Riskware will increase or decrease, but it's just ironic that a security software is detected as risky by other security products. #2 It's also funny because Norton is still the best antivirus compared to those in screenshots. #3 It's also funny because Norton is still the best antivirus compared to those in screenshots. Well, ESET is not worse than Norton. In fact, it is better than Norton in terms of detection, IMO.

The number is going down! #16 ESET still detects it as PUA.Maybe anyone using ESET can report this detection to ESET support ? #17 ESET still detects it as PUA.Maybe anyone using ESET can report this detection to ESET support ?
