John McAfee – the
founder of McAfee
Antivirus has a lot of explaining to do to the
millions of passionate computer users who rely on the trust of the
antivirus program that bears his name.
As a society, we are hard
to forgive the many distinguished drug users who present themselves
to us in the media every day. The question is why so many seem to be
so quick to forgive a man who ties his name to something that is as
important as the McAfee
Antivirus? Large companies use these programs to
protect serious and valuable content in their systems and the average
user could also be seriously affected by any lack in attention to
detail.
John McAfee produced a
powerful form of computer antivirus that became so huge that he,
himself soon found his personal worth to be valued at over 100
million dollars. Unfortunately, McAfee took part in too many
scandalous activities with his money that eventually resulted in a
huge negative response from McAfee
Antivirus fans; not to mention, he wasted such a large
amount of it that he now has less than 4 million dollars.
Dipping into drugs and
negative behaviors in the ways John McAfee has elected to do so is
definitely something to be frowned upon by his acquaintances, the
public, and especially the brand he ties his name to. Suspected to be
somebody who associates with Belize gangs, McAfee’s home was raided
and searched by the local gang control forces where he was found
harboring various weapons, as well as what was assumed to be
narcotics, in his small beach-front cottage in Belize.
McAfee waited and watched
while they searched his home from a hole on the beach he had dug to
bury himself in with a cardboard box over his head. He had been to
the local jail, where he was forced to live in a small cell with a
bunch of other people and use a crate for a latrine. To say the very
least, he was not eager to go back.
McAfee has slowly
intertwined himself with all the things which damage a person’s
persona and ruin their career, along with their life. Drugs, sex,
and gangs seem to be the popular wrong-doings of those who have a bit
of change to spend, and McAfee is no exception. He has not stepped in
a single positive direction once since he moved to Belize to “help
improve the country by creating antibiotics from all natural jungle
plants.”
Not only was McAfee
arrested for being in the possession of drugs, it was suspected that
he was also operating a meth lab in his home in Belize. He claimed
that the equipment that was found at the residence was simply a way
to conduct his experiments regarding the making antibiotics from
plants of the land and that it had absolutely nothing to do with
methamphetamine, which is what they accused him of being affiliated
with. Getting himself so wound up in such negative ways could have a
heavily adverse effect on the quality and trust in the McAfee
Antivirus brand which holds his name.
By irresponsibly dumping
endless amounts of money into whatever he pleases instead of building
newer and better McAfee
Antivirus that could compete with the smarter threats
of today, he is ultimately ruining his company and his sought after
and trusted antivirus.
