Way to go fucking Intel, you just bought the shittiest company that exists on planet earth.

I think they should have bought Nvidia, that would rock our socks off.

But seriously, 7.6billion? why? WHY? Isn't 1 billion enough for that shit company? Heck if I was an Intel CEO, I would buy that for $0.01

Its a good thing it didn't happen the opposite way Mcaffe buys Intel, then the whole world would just fall of bridges.

VC:
Despite Macafee being shit, it is the established name.  Every old fart with an email television has Macafee on it if anything because to them, Macafee = antivirus.  All Intel needs to do is make a non-shit antivirus, and they'll sell billions of licences just because it has the Macafee name on it.

mbsurfer:
It's all about the name. People would buy shoes made out of newspaper as long as there was a Nike swoop on it.

McAfee Honestly sucks in my opinion, has done nothing but create nonsense pop ups on my computer.

coolDisguise:
Don't forget about the SiteAdvisor service and software - it's als from McAfee, free and not that bad if you want to get a general idea of whether a site is safe or not.
I mean: have you tried to find a site providing song lyrics recently?
If you have no idea which site to trust and you're not lucky enough to find that particular song on youtube /w lyrics or as some guitar tab/chord sheet /w lyrics, even picking a lyrics site is like walking in a mine field blindfolded and that even if you happen to have good security settings.
