norton disallows all crypto miners as no one knows the authors of those miners and the validity of how they work
you are welcome to "allow" any application you wish, we wouldn't recommend it, this is one of the reasons we introduced Norton Crypto

I accept your answer but don't like it...I remember "back when" I looked at thousands of lines of code to figure out why something was not working or to find a way to change the way it was working...I am not a programmer by todays standards and what I'm talking about was mostly stuff written in Basic or BasicA...it was still vary hard...one Mb of memory was $50...a 20 Mb hard drive was outstanding...maybe considered simple compared to today but basically back then it was taking the program apart or reverse engineering it...I think that can still be done today but nobody wants to spend the time or money to do it...at a time when it needs to be done...unknown authors, unknown code...come on people...the worlds protector of people computing and you can't spend the money to hire people to figure this out ?....Now that is really strange...

i think you missed the point, instead of us looking at other solutions and going line by line to determine if it's good or bad, we did our own, which we "know" is doing the right thing

Users have the ability to trust any executable software by changing their own personal configuration. We do our very best to inform our customers of things that are not to be trusted. All other security software does the same, this is not something new.

In my opinion, at the present time Norton Crypto is just not worth doing it...the software doesn't work right and too many fees...trying to adjust Norton to allow Nicehash mining is like removing nearly all protections...exclude folders and Norton will come up with something else...after about 50 settings changes Nicehash will run...what I finally did was remove Norton and stop this Norton ETH mining and install Nicehash...mining is way up without the fees...I have $15.25 in Norton after shutting it down but can't do anything with it since the transactions fee is more than $5 more than I have...lol amazing...

you are mining bitcoin instead of Ethereum which is very different in terms of payouts and fees
