Anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee, wanted by authorities in Belize for his neighbor's murder, has been captured after weeks on the run, his blog said Saturday.

"We have received an unconfirmed report that John McAfee has been captured at the border of Belize and Mexico," his official blog whoismcafee.com said.

The website, which McAfee launched to counter what he sees as erroneous claims by the media or authorities about him, said it would provide more information as it became available.

And there are people that are paranoid that Kaspersky and Dr. Web are sinister. lol

I don't know that any individuals from those two anti-malware firms are seeking exile after allegedly killing someone.
That says a lot.
Nobody knows except Mr. McAfee, but if he is running like he is, it does not help any claims of innocence. I guess it could have been self defense, and then he panicked, but nobody knows. All that can be done is to speculate until a thorough investigation is conducted.
