if you have Norton Antivirus or Norton VPN, delete the software ASAP.

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.

One iced latte with low-fat #enemies to lovers milk, please.

2020 - A YEAR IN REVIEW

I mean to each their own and it's not really harmful per se, but so much of bookstagram, booktok and booktube is just a display of privilege. It's a privilege to own multiple copies of the same book, it's a privilege to "collect" every single edition of your favourite YA romance, it's a privilege to own ARCs and signed copies and beautiful illustrated hardback editions and claim "any true bookworm will know that amazing feeling of hoarding editions" like no, it isn't. It requires a certain level of financial stability and security to spend that much of money on creating an aesthetic display of books. Again, it's not a really bad thing, but I just feel so distant from all of it, as someone from a middle class family, who feels bad spending more than 500 rupees on books at a time.
