salad is neither a Trojan nor is it a virus, it's a distributed data processing platform, that is voluntary on the part of people who opt into it and those who do opt in do make a little money by letting their spare processing power be used by the company to process data for their clients. i've been using it myself for some time now and have noticed no ill effects while having it on my computers. someone above in the comments said "without your permission" well one has to actively download it, install it and set it up before it can work. i'm going to reiterate a more info link from above, and add another link in case folk want to look further into this salad thing. the main page for the site is here: https://salad.com/
