A few weeks ago, I was doing my usual reading of celebrity news on TMZ.com when I came across the headline about John McAfee. The name I once associated with the famous antivirus software was now the leading suspect in the murder of a Florida bodybuilder named Gregory Faull in San Pedro Town. What I had read about this deranged, power-hungry maniac was eyebrow raising. But truth be told, I don’t find it to be a complete surprise that such flawed software could be associated with a complete nut job.I recall my youth in the early 90’s which was also the early days of the web when online services...

McAfee - Off to Belize to Blow it All
John McAfee, creator of the McAfee
Antivirus we have all probably heard of (and learned
to trust) has dipped in popularity recently in that it seems he is
determined to find trouble wherever he goes.
In the beginning, McAfee fled the U.S
in order to evade the taxes he would incur by staying. Belize is
popularly known for being a “tax haven” and is generally heavily
favored by those with large sums of money. Unfortunately for McAfee,
he is now quite “shunned” by their local government for being
resistant to helping out a local political party.
Obviously, the greed shines through; he
is...

McAfee Mistakes – Should We Pity Him Or Did He Deserve What Happened?
It truly is sad how money and power can
go to one’s head – but even worse when this irrational behaviour
is attached to the integrity of their brand. This is precisely what
has happened to John McAfee; the founder of McAfee Software.
Brains and the mighty power of knowing
how to put together a sellable product for the booming computer
industry is what John McAfee originally did in the late 1980’s
which permanently attached his name to the software he developed.
His software began like all others,
slowly gaining the spot light in the world of security linked to
computers....
What is the Real Consequence in the Michael Vick and John McAfee Controversy?
The most obvious and simultaneously discredited continuing drama of poor decision making has to be Michael Vick and that of McAfee Antivirus founder John McAfee. Jumping straight past the actual arrest of Vick, eventual confession with all of the fallout, as well as McAfee’s recent allegations of drug manufacturing, distribution, underage sexual relationships and even wanted in connection to the murder of his neighbour in Belize, what are most people truly focused on?
In a word; it is their Integrity.
It is well known that Vick was arrested in 2007 after significant evidence proved...
The Truthful Comparison of John McAfee to Michael Jackson
They say that there are two sides to every story – but in the court of public opinion, the only thing needed to convict a person of unethical behaviour seems to be an allegation these days. Need two examples – just ask McAfee Antivirus Software founder John McAfee and former pop-singer and icon Michael Jackson.
The story of Michael Jackson is well publicised. While he was experiencing one of the most ambitious rises to fame in the music industry during the 1980s, Jackson made some personal decisions that created more than just controversy. Public support was there for his music, but one has...
Martha Stewart and John McAfee – Forever Linked in Crime
Don’t get me wrong, but as much as I
love those cool little nick-knacks that Martha Stewart has created
over the years, she’ll always be a criminal in my eyes. And based
on recent reports surfacing about McAfee
Antivirus founder John McAfee hiding out in Belize; wanted in
connection to murder and drug charges – he and his company have
lost a lot of my respect.
I don’t sugar coat things – as I’m
sure you can see by the opening paragraph. So, let’s be blunt. When
somebody is convicted or accused of a crime in any way, shape or
form, it is due to the personal decisions they made to...
Lack of Integrity Lands McAfee Anti-Virus Developer Hiding Out in Belize
Once worth over $100 million dollars,
John
McAfee is now worth next to nothing financially and is on the run
from authorities is Belize due to claims that he was running a meth
lab from his home. Belize authorities stormed McAfee’s home,
shooting his dog dead and taking McAfee to a cell in which he had to
sleep on a cold, hard floor. Authorities found weapons and what some
are calling a “meth lab”, though McAfee states that he simply had
ingredients for an antibiotic he was developing.
McAfee is well known for developing a
highly successful internet security software program, called...
Pete Rose and John McAfee – Entering the Hall of Shame
Pete Rose has gone down
in history as one of the best baseball players of all time. John
McAfee, the founder of McAfee
Antivirus Software was regarded as a visionary in the
computer anti-virus industry. However, both of these individuals will
not be remembered for their ‘on the field’ or behind the computer
screen accomplishments. Both legacies are tarnished for good thanks
to poor personal choices both men made.
Rose was known as
“Charlie Hustle” for two reasons. One reason was his on the field
work ethic which produced a fabulous career. He boasts three World
Series, 17 All...
John McAfee and His 17 Year Old Belizean Lady
Scandalous John McAfee is at it again.
Lacking any drive to do the right things is undoubtedly going to ruin
the founder of McAfee
Antivirus eventually, if not sooner than that. Should
we be so quick to trust the infamous McAfee Antivirus or should we
take more precaution?
McAfee has been living with a 17 year
old Belize girl since she was 15. Who knows why this young lady is so
interested in McAfee, but many choose to believe it is because of his
money – which isn’t an unreasonable thought. McAfee has
subjected this young girl to all of his nonsense, including the raid
on his home,...
John McAfee (McAfee Antivirus Guru) - Dead Dogs and Murder?
It seems John McAfee, the
founder of McAfee Antivirus computer software cannot bear to control
himself long enough to even begin to bring his name back up to what
it was. Pioneer of McAfee
Antivirus, John McAfee has now dug himself a bit of a
hole and is wanted for questioning regarding the murder of his
neighbor, Gregory Faull on Sunday, November 11th.
Because McAfee insists
that the government there wants him dead, he has been on the lam and
keeping his distance by keeping himself well hidden so as not to be
taken in. He is digging his hole deeper and deeper by the day. He has
even...
Lance Armstrong and John McAfee – Losing People’s Trust
Both Lance Armstrong and John McAfee stand as strong examples how you can lose the trust of
people by making unwise choices and, more importantly, not admitting
to the same. Most everyone would surely like to give such people a
second chance, but only if they admit their wrong actions. With
Armstrong, this would definitely be an option however McAfee’s
personal life choices are directly impacting the brand he developed
many years ago.
For instance, take the case of Lance
Armstrong, where he was accused of taking drugs to enhance his
performance this June. He was stripped of all...
John McAfee and Lance Armstrong – Poor Decisions Lead to Loss of Trust
It’s rather sad how the general public views those who make poor decisions in life – or is it?
The decision that McAfee Antivirus founder John McAfee has made to engage in illegal drug activity, engage in an underage sexual relationship in Belize and wanted by Belize officials in connection to the murder of his neighbour was his alone. The decision that Lance Armstrong made to continually betray the trust of the general public by apparently lying about his PED use during his amazing bicyclist career have led to the loss of several sponsors, being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles...
McAfee and Armstrong - Both Dead Set on Failure
Lance Armstrong and John McAfee, the founder of McAfee Antivirus are both strong examples of how the wrong life choices and a simple lack in regard for the decisions that you make can heavily affect you as a person, as well as that which you represent.
Lance Armstrong is a powerful and exceedingly successful athlete and has been for many years. However, when you look behind the scenes, you learn Armstrong was using steroids to succeed, and this strongly taints your vision of him and the sport that he excelled at. Then you look at John McAfee, who developed a powerful and trustworthy...
Chain of Events Leaves John McAfee on the Run – And Legacy Tarnished
History has it written that John McAfee was one of the great software producers of the late 1990s. His invention, McAfee Antivirus, still on the market today and carrying the infamous McAfee name is still popular among many. However, history has a pattern of repeating itself and ever evolving. And based on recent allegations and discoveries of questionable personal decisions he made over the years, history’s definition of John McAfee is bound to change – to certifiable wacko.
The company McAfee Antivirus, originally founded in his home in Santa Clarita California was created on knowledge...
John McAfee – Poor Choices Equal Tarnished Legacy
How it is a man who walked into greatness is suddenly the most-wanted man in Belize? Mental accounting of your own money is a sure-fire way you will spend yourself into debt. Many people wonder if it’s the mesmerizing thought of being filthy rich or the thought the money will never run out. But McAfee Antivirus founder John McAfee is about to find out as soon as authorities capture him that his actions have consequences.
John McAfee is a victim of himself. A frivolous spender for things he really didn’t need to live a comfortable life. John McAfee may have gotten his start early on...
John McAfee – Company Legacy Tarnished by Bad Life Choices
John McAfee - the founder of McAfee Antivirus has hit the news yet again with his untimely and yet habitually negative lifestyle choices. The multimillion dollar genius at the head start of McAfee Antivirus has again made a wrong mistake. Money, it seems to go to the head when there is an overabundance of it.
The playboy lifestyle John McAfee seems so desperately to want to live is making life harder to live for the self-started millionaire. When you head a successful company in the technology industry, you don’t want to have a black sheep side.
Many individuals only wish to be as lucky...
Personal Sexual Choices Impacting Tiger Woods and John McAfee’s Integrity
Tiger Woods will go down in history as perhaps one of the best all-time golfers, as his golfing career has been utterly amazing. But, he along with McAfee Antivirus Software founder John McAfee will also be remembered for their poor decisions in regard to their sexual behavior which will tarnish their integrity for a lifetime and beyond.
Woods hit the professional golf scene in 1996 and by the following year he had already won the 1997 Masters Tournament- setting records at the same time. In June of 1997 he ranked number one worldwide. In fact, he spent the majority of time from 2000 to...
Bill Clinton and John McAfee’s Sexual Choices – Not Creating Trust
When Bill Clinton and McAfee Antivirus Computer Software founder John McAfee made the decision to engage in questionable sexual choices; their integrity and ability to be trusted went right out the window. And unfortunately for both men, their legacy – as well as the changes or products they developed will forever be questioned by the general public.
The Clinton/Lewinsky scandal has gone down in history as a prime example of how making poor choices can land you in seriously deep trouble- even if you’re President of the United States. This scandal between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky...
John McAfee - Drugs, Meth Labs, and the Ultimate Destruction of Trust
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 do so many seem to be so quick
to forgive a man who ties his name to something that is as important
as McAfee
computer 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...
Drugs, Meth Labs, and the Ultimate Destruction of the McAfee Antivirus Brand
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

John McAfee – Blinded By Money or Corrupted by Personal Demons
John McAfee – Blinded By Money or Corrupted by Personal Demons
Money - it comes in different formats and is usually a coin or paper. For John McAfee, the founder of McAfee Antivirus Software, it was a fetish gone seriously wrong. Money the driving force behind the multimillion dollar antivirus software mogul which bears his own name, made irrational choices and lost his fortune in the blink of an eye.
John McAfee, known for his strings of positions as a computer guru in the late eighties landed a position with Lockheed Martin to build software for the company. By the late 1990's, McAfee...

Will Pete Rose Ever Enter the Hall - Or Has He Betrayed Trust
I’m going to just come
out and say it – I’m a huge fan of Pete Rose the baseball player.
However, I hate the liar that Pete Rose has become.
The guy who was known as
‘Charlie Hustle’ played in Major League baseball for many years,
set the record for most hits in a career and had so much energy and
effort in every play, at bat or running the bases, that Pete Rose
became a huge fan favorite and a virtual lock to enter Major League
Baseball’s hall of fame.
But then something came
up which virtually betrayed the trust he had worked so hard to earn –
allegations that he bet on baseball...
Lance Armstrong and Symantec - How to Betray Trust 101
Isn’t it funny how
America embraces a thief, abuser and cheater – but detests a liar.
Case in point – this
week, Corporate America companies Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Radio
Shack told Lance Armstrong to take a flying leap off a bridge by
cancelling their sponsorship endorsement contracts with him based on
allegations – not facts – raised by the United States Anti-Doping
Agency. Earlier this year, SSL Certificate giant Symantec took a huge
hit in consumer trust by replacing their reliable VeriSign Checkmark
with the less than reliable Norton Secured Seal.
In both cases, both
parties...
