As I understood it, it isn't turned on by default. The user has to turn it on by himself... The user can maybe earn a bit of money with it (after Norton take their cut), but that probably depens on your hardware, and how much you pay for the stuff that comes out of your wall sockets...


Bye, Wilfred.
