[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 813545, member: 72439"] McAfee was acquired by Intel in 2011. It was stated for MANY years that Intel being involved with McAfee would help them become a more legit AV. It never seemed to happen. Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm, acquired a 51% stake in the company last year. So Intel is now a minority shareholder... but not the owner. That's why the term 'Intel' disappeared from the McAfee homepage last December. And there were reports several months ago that Thoma Bravo may purchase the remaining 49% from Intel. Overall, I think McAfee along with Webroot are the two worst commonly discussed AVs here at MT.
