โIf users have turned on Norton Crypto but no longer wish to use the feature, it can be disabled by temporarily shutting off โtamper protectionโ (which allows users to modify the Norton installation) and deleting NCrypt.exe from your computer,โ NortonLifeLock said in a written statement. - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/norton-...-a-cryptominer/
Found the file in C:\Program Files\Norton Security\Engine. Successfully renamed ncrypt.exe after temporarily disabling tamper protection. ![]() |
