I’m seeing many people vouching for the fact that it is legit but for me its honestly the filenames and whitelist names on Norton that is making me second guess this. They all have something to do with trojan or general virus names with almost all having web attack or system infected in the beginning of them. making sure I have also downloaded the correct one and I’m fairly certain I have as I’ve gone to the website and download link through trust pilot. is this legit or should I actually be extremely worried?
Ngl I was skeptical at first but it seems pretty legit.
The not legit part is using Norton antivirus though lol
My main worry is why are all the file names basically just viruses?
Well norton at the time had a good deal for a year and multiple devices so I’ve been using it for a while and to be honest it seems pretty decent to me, the VPN works well at least. It’s also just Norton 360 so it’s not a huge full bundle plan.
Which files specifically?
Salad does have crypto mining (which they offer as a workload but you can disable it) if youre talking about that.
Hi, the names are not actually virus, you are talking about the crypto miners, what names are trex, xmrig, etc, when flagged in the antivirus they give the name of the thing they think its doing “Trojan” as people use these crypto miners in a way where the user dosent know they are running and dosent get paid from it so it would be a Trojan, salad is not this, you yourself say if you want to run crypto mining, when to start/stop and get 100% of the earnings when it does run (salad only makes profit through the store not the workloads themself)
Glad you’re finding value in it!
I kinda do the reverse. Windows Defender is actually good enough and I spent money on a VPN instead haha.
But to go back to your question: I find that Salad has been the most beneficial if you have a 4070 or higher card.
I have a 3060 and salad says something about average of $40 per month for pcs of similar specs
I think I’m just worried how it’ll affect my gpu in the long run. People say it won’t kill the GPU but idk.
Also something I never considered was how much electricity it costs to run this thing hours on end.
And for the 3060, as it’s demand for containers (The main method of earning, by renting out your gpu to customers) is currently pretty low you’re likely to earn closer to 30 then 40
Electricity costs is as if you’re just playing a game, it’s the same load as a game with high graphics not a gpu killer. As long as you have sufficient cooling you’ll be fine
True. So it’s just like playing an intensive game (full load).
Thanks for the clarification!
