Well, we are now seeing cryptomining software getting included in antivirus software also....
Norton & Norton owned Avira now have started doing that. Soon we might see them in Avast & Avg also since they are also now being owned by Norton.

It's good that bitdefender is not releasing any feature like this, from one end some companies are releasing mining software in their own product and then on the other side they are detecting the mining software of other developers as cryptominers, this sounds funny and weird at the same time.
Kudos to bitdefender for not introducing something like this.

That is a paradox indeed. We'll stick to antiviruses, don't worry 😃
