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 continuously trying to get away from spending his fortune, even for a good cause. What kinds of influences can this possibly have on his McAfee antivirus? Was he withholding when it came to the important aspects of his product? Who knows?

Another one of the primary reasons why McAfee fled to Belize was to set up a firm in which he would create both antibiotics and women’s Viagra from natural jungle plants. Many have a hard time taking him seriously with these spontaneous fruitless endeavors. He claims he wants to improve the health and wellness of the Belizean people by creating a natural antibiotic for them that is created and sewed straight from their own jungle plants. This is all great and noble, but unfortunately it seems McAfee’s fortune has dropped by nearly 100 million dollars in the time it took for him to go from the U.S. to Belize.

McAfee also fled in order to protect his own wealth by means of taxes, but also by avoiding the shrink in riches due to the many lawsuits that were filed or being filed against him in the U.S. He was sure that fleeing to Belize would protect him and his fortune from sure disaster. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for McAfee to lose almost his entire fortune.

Unfortunately for McAfee, fleeing the country didn’t prove productive at all for the reasons he originally fled. Of course, he landed himself a 17 year old Belizean lady friend who graciously moved in with him and he learned some interesting ways to use bath salts. But alas, he also lost nearly all of his fortune (by his standards) and he is now attempting to flee from a government which he deems “corrupt” and believes is trying to kill him.

McAfee has plummeted so low that many are actually beginning to pity him. But, it seems unwise to do so. He landed himself in this mess and who knows whether he has been taking proper care of us who use his McAfee Antivirus. When it comes down to it, it is hard to believe McAfee was doing right by the public through his McAfee Antivirus. Simply put, should we pity a man who may have such a lack in regard for people who trust him?

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 operation at the Virginia based Bad News Kennels was a dog fighting ring, bankrolled and fully participated in by Vick. Football is a business, and it did not take long before Vick had to face the financial realities of losing that business. However, the controversy continued in 2009 when he was permitted back on the professional field. Many feel this was a business decision, as controversy can, in fact, be good for ratings and sports.

The controversy finally began to be quiet. There were the supporters of the change Vick claimed to be undergoing and there were those who felt he never really paid for his crimes. Everyone lined up on their side of the issue, and a tense but quiet argument stood in limbo. Vick has also developed a reputation for getting hurt on the field. Many feel that the acquisition of a Beagle was designed to draw attention away from his poor performance and injury record and reignite the passion on both sides of the issue.

However, with McAfee the initial probe has just begun. It was discovered this past week that John McAfee, who developed the basic foundation of McAfee antivirus protection that exists today, has been hiding out in Belize from officials from multiple countries for his connection to drug charges, underage sexual relationships and even questioning his involvement in the murder of his neighbour in Belize.

McAfee’s lack of integrity over the years has surely contributed to the jam that he’s in right now and is impacting the reliability and integrity of the McAfee Antivirus Software he developed many years ago. Hiding out in Belize and afraid of what he faces if caught, McAfee is hopefully gaining some revelation as to why he is in such a predicament. Success is a wonderful thing, but if the road to it is paved with poor morals and values, you just may find yourself in terrible situations like McAfee is facing right now.

In both cases, Vick and McAfee have had their integrity questioned. Are the actions they committed just a simple mistake - or worse, are they examples of a lifetime of poor decision making. We’d defer to the ladder and even worse – this pattern of self-destructive behaviour has now spilled into the brands they represent or have in the past.

When the Michael Vick story broke, his sponsors did everything they could to separate themselves from him (except a select few). But, McAfee is not sponsored by anybody. He is the founder of a company that up until recently was regarded as highly trustworthy. This all changed when McAfee’s lifetime of poor choices surfaced.

In short, integrity is something earned through positive decision making choices. And one’s integrity truly is attached to all things they’ve touched previously. Vick has returned to the NFL and has begun his long road to earning peoples trust again. However, the path that McAfee has taken has only one end – and unfortunately it’s not a positive one.

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 to wonder what he truly could have become had the scandal not rocked his world, not just once, but over and over again 

Two separate allegations of child molestation that ended in multimillion dollar settlements and several allegations that never took shape did a lot of damage in the long run. Prior to these allegations, Jackson had been championing for causes involving starving children and highlighting the works of charities throughout the world. Initially, many thought he was an ambassador for the entertainment industry.

The allegations eventually clouded his work so much that he spent much time in self-imposed isolation, extending only private invitations to hundreds of sick and dying children for his questionable children's parties. What is strangely similar is the recent discovery reported by reliable news agencies of John McAfee engaging in similar-questionable behaviour.

According to published reports, the founder of McAfee Antivirus protection has recently been hiding out in Belize, under suspicion of drug manufacturing, and distribution with his live-in underage girlfriend. McAfee also allegedly allowed employees to have a competition to see who could have sex in the most places at his headquarters and is facing a wrongful death lawsuit of a man who died in an aircraft that one of his firms owned. McAfee has been known to date very young women despite him being beyond middle age.

Is this the responsible behaviour of a person who developed a very successful McAfee Antivirus software? Even worse, is this behaviour a recent discovery? Sadly, it’s not. It’s a pattern that McAfee has developed from the time he founded McAfee Antivirus in the mid 1980’s. As such, one must assume that this same lack of judgment that McAfee has shown over the years was instrumental in developing his McAfee antivirus software.

Like Michael Jackson, the decisions that McAfee have made in his long life are now tarnishing not only his legacy, but that of the company he developed. The ironic thing is that the antivirus industry is based on providing computer users complete trust in their programs. And now, it seems that that same trust is vanishing in not only McAfee, but the products he developed.

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 place them in such a situation. Whether they are innocent or guilty of the crime, they made a decision that placed them in hot water in the first place.

In 2004, Martha Stewart was sentenced to a short prison visit and a mere five months under house arrest for what evidence could be collected regarding insider trading. The federal charges of insider trading never stuck, but she was charged, convicted, and sentenced on charges of obstruction of justice, lying about a stock sale, and a few other misdemeanour type toppings.

Her significant stock in ImClone Systems Inc. was dumped only a day before the company would announce vital information that would result in some serious damage to their financial stability, causing stocks to fall out. The initial impact was quite telling. Her company's own stocks bottomed out and the couple of hundred people who worked for her company, Martha Stewart Inc. suddenly found themselves without employment.

Now let’s look at McAfee’s situation. When allegations of illegal drug activity and murder investigation by McAfee Antivirus founder John McAfee surfaced, the internet message boards lit up with thousands of loyal computer antivirus users expressing concerns over the reliability of the McAfee Antivirus protection programs that McAfee created – even though he left the company nearly two-decades ago.

When anybody who is in the public lime light engages in any unethical behaviour in their personal life, it always impacts their professional careers and brand as well. Need another example; how about Lance Armstrong – he’s pretty much the modern poster-boy of how to betray the trust of the general public. Need another? How about Pete Rose, Joe Paterno, even General David Petraeus – who has been regarded as a true American patriot; and finds him being labelled as a traitor by some.

The facts don’t lie – the assumption of guilt in America is good enough to convict somebody in the court of public opinion. This is a fact of life folks. Whether right or wrong, ethical or not, it’s the world we live in today.

The decisions that John McAfee have made in his life are not by circumstance, or his wealth – it’s a personal flaw, but one that he chose to travel. As a result, his once highly regarded McAfee Antivirus software must now be questioned on whether it was originally developed by a whack-job. And based on the truth about McAfee’s lifestyle – that’s a forgone conclusion.

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 Star games, and plenty more honors and awards. He was the leader in hits and at-bats, and was the first person to really start sliding into base bags. He also had an incredible 44-game hitting streak.

Pete Rose; now 71 years old, played professional baseball from 1963 until 1986. His love of the sport caused him to manage a team from 1984 until 1989. It was during his management years that Pete’s poor choices would cause his fans to lose a great deal of respect for him.

Pete apparently liked to gamble. It was during his role as team manager for the Cincinnati Reds that Pete gambled on baseball games. In 1989, he admitted to betting on his team and other teams as well. Because of this, Pete was not allowed to be a part of professional baseball anymore and he lost his chance to earn a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

For years and years Pete denied these claims – actually, he flat out lied about any involvement in baseball gambling. His lying eventually caught up with him and the truth came out. In addition to gambling, Pete was in legal trouble for tax evasion, as he did not report income that he received from horse racing and memorabilia. Worse however, was that he was banned from any involvement in MLB for LIFE.

The issues currently facing John McAfee are eerily similar. McAfee has recently been linked to investigation of drug trafficking in Belize, engaged in an underage sexual relationship with a 17-year old girl, and is wanted for murder. But, this is just recent news of McAfee who during his life has engaged in similar scrupulous behavior that eventually lead him to be ‘shown the door’ for running his own company.

However, his behavior today and in the past does impact the trustworthiness and reliability of the products he developed. McAfee Antivirus and the entire computer software industry is based solely on trust of important consumers. They need to know that the money they spend on a product was created by an individual or team who make solid and ethical lifestyle choices. More important is that they engage this type of social responsibility into every product sold to computer users.

McAfee Antivirus is now under suspicion of its quality simply because of the poor decisions of its founder.

Simply put, both Rose and McAfee’s legacy will forever be tarnished in the eye of the general public. And the on the field and business success achieved by both must be questioned. If somebody is willing to lie about gambling, or engages in drug sales, underage sexual activity and even accused of murder – consumers should be wary of the products and brands they are attached to – or at the least question these individuals integrity and decision making process during a lifetime of poor decision making.

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, as she was living with him at the time. It really begs the question as to where her parents are and whether they are concerned about her.

In Belize, 16 is the age of consent. But in America, it is 18 (and even then the age gap between the two of them would be frowned upon). Should we be concerned about McAfee’s actions? Better yet, should we be concerned with how well McAfee Antivirus was taken care of while McAfee himself was gallivanting around without a care in the world? Would it be intelligent of us to continue using a product that ties its name to a man who is so wrapped up in crime, he could not possibly have time for it? That is up to the consumer to decide.

McAfee is reckless – and has been his entire life; even while he was ‘developing’ his once-trustworthy McAfee Antivirus. The ultimate question is whether we should trust somebody who spends all of his time doing such things that are so heavily frowned upon in America? It is almost as if he has forgotten his upbringing and in that he has also forgotten how to be civil and how to handle his money, having seen his net worth drop from well over 100 million dollars to a mere 4 million.

McAfee has undoubtedly gotten himself wrapped around in so many different crimes, it is hard to keep track. His home was raided by the gang regulation forces in Belize, who were looking for guns and drugs in McAfee’s home. They did not come up empty handed to say the least. However, McAfee insists that the drugs and equipment found were in relation to his reason for going to Belize; to create antibiotics from jungle plants in order to aid in the growth and wellness of the country. Not to mention the fact that he is now wanted for possibly murdering his neighbor.

Would you let this man borrow your important documents? If not, maybe it would be a good idea to rethink his McAfee Antivirus and whether it can truly protect you from the threats of today’s world.

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 been referred to as “bonkers” by the Prime Minister, Dean Barrow.

He has taken part in phone interviews with many stations; however he changes phones often to ensure he isn’t found. He has also admitted to drastically changing his appearance. Some have requested in-person interviews with him, but obviously he declines stating that even if he didn’t believe they would turn him in, they could be followed by those who want him captured. He claims to feel perfectly safe where he is at and refuses to disclose his location, but they do not believe he has left Belize yet.

Faull had recently filed a complaint against McAfee which accused him of more than one public disservice. One being that his personal security guards would threaten regular folks on the beach with their guns. Also included in the complaint was the fact that McAfee had delivery vans and taxis going in and out of his home consistently at all hours of the night. The next issue brought about in the complaint was the fact that his “vicious dogs” were attacking people and tourists and when people approached him about it (Faull included), McAfee was said to do nothing about it.

Later, the McAfee Antivirus developer and founder said his dogs were poisoned by locals and he was forced to put them down. This is the reason police believe they have strong reasoning to sit down with McAfee and question him and why they believe he is a prime suspect, especially because he is running from them.

Many people pin McAfee as “gun-obsessed.” However, he has plainly stated the exact opposite. Regardless of the fact that pictures of him have surfaced which show McAfee holding a gun to his own head, he denies ever having anything to do with nonsense such as that. He claims he would never do such a thing and if he were to carry around a gun, he would just do so in a gun holster and for crying out loud, he’d be wearing clothes.

Once again, John McAfee is slaughtering his name and his products. His lack in responsibility and serious disregard for the law is going to take a heavy toll on those products in which he pioneered. Why on earth would people feel that they could trust McAfee Antivirus when it was created and lifted to its well-known status by a man who has such disregard for the well-being of others? The answer is simple; they shouldn’t.

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 his wins in years between 1999 and 2005 and for other events in the past. On the other hand, other players, such as Tiger Woods and Michael Vick were forgiven in spite of being accused of worse actions. The explanation is that Lance Armstrong did not admit to committing the offence and the general public was not able to forgive this betrayal of trust.

One of the largest impacts however to Armstrong’s poor decision making was the separation of his ‘formerly reliable brand’ with several sponsors including Nike, Michelob Ultra Beer, Oakley and Radio Shack. This cost Armstrong millions of dollars in sponsorship revenue, but most importantly impacted the credibility of his Livestrong Foundation, a group dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.

However, with McAfee, his situation is a bit more complex. You see, in his case, his actions are directly impacting the thoughts of millions of computer owners who use his McAfee Antivirus software to protect their computer – a software that is all about trust of the important consumer base.

The SSL Security and Antivirus protection software industry has been under attack in recent years with news coming out that leaders of two of the largest antivirus software companies – McAfee and Symantec have made poor decisions personally and business wise that are impacting their brands credibility.

In the case of McAfee, allegations of drug manufacturing, selling and distribution, combined with being involved in a sexual relationship with a 17-year old girl in Belize have led millions of computer software customers to question his integrity and decision making. This also impacts their confidence in the McAfee Antivirus brand – and products they manufacture.

Both the above examples go to prove that the personal actions that Lance Armstrong and John McAfee have made directly impact their credibility and any organizations they founded. Livestrong has seen this impact with several donors pulling their support from the foundation. And McAfee’s former software company will see dramatic loss of sales as well – thanks in part to the founders personal actions.

We’ve seen this story before – and we’ll see this story well into the future. Until high-profile people begin to understand the importance of living high-quality life’s and make strong and ethical personal life choices, this problem will continue.

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 and losing control of the Livestrong Foundation he created.

Let’s be real for a second – nobody should pity these fools.

Both McAfee and Armstrong made the beds they lay in today for one simple reason. They chose to make poor decisions in life – they were never forced to make these choices. However, the tragic part is that now, the general population has forever linked their personal life-style choices with the companies and foundations they worked hard to create in the past.

As soon as the allegations of illegal activity of McAfee Antivirus founder John McAfee surfaced, several thousand consumers of the McAfee antivirus software expressed concern over the reliability of the program that John McAfee created several years ago. Although the engineers and developers are different and not related to McAfee, they still use his basic engineering design in today’s programs.

With Armstrong, as soon as the story continued to break, he not only lost all of his long-time sponsors, but also several investors and donors to his Livestrong Foundation pulled their funding for 2013 – simply because they could not be associated with Armstrong or the foundation he created. Even after Armstrong stepped down from the foundation Chair, companies and individuals are continuing to separate themselves from the foundation.

McAfee’s lack of integrity over the years has surely contributed to the jam that he’s in right now and is impacting the reliability and integrity of the McAfee Antivirus Software he developed many years ago.

By hiding out in Belize and running away from several governments who are actively searching for him, McAfee is proving his guilt – just as Armstrong did by not responding to his drug doping allegations. In the eye of the general public, being labelled as a cheater, a liar, a drug dealer, a pedofile, or murderer is often enough to convict somebody in the court of public opinion.

And in the case of both Armstrong and McAfee, their decision to hide has impacted the lives of millions of people who once trusted them – and the brands they developed. Success in life is a wonderful thing, but if the road to it is paved with poor morals and values, you just may find yourself in terrible situations like Armstrong and McAfee are facing today.

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 he may have acquired from his time as an employee of Lockheed Martin who was building the same style of product when John McAfee left. As McAfee’s claim to fame increased so did his designs and developments for his company McAfee Securities. Being one of the first individuals on the scene for virus protection was one feat, but his virus scanner, rarely talked about was the very first designed. 

Now classified as an eccentric entrepreneur, the money from his ventures was a good gain, in the very first years of McAfee Antivirus things seemed to be going good for John McAfee. After purchase of his new office building, sexual entanglements began to surface. Employees were finding the best places to have sex while at work. The suggestion of McAfee allowing this behaviour to happen in his office is where the slide of McAfee’s character first became known. 

The recent turn in John McAfee’s life suggests a deeper disturbance sometimes brought about by the use of illegal drugs. The need to protect himself by the many weapons he has in his home. An expenditure some would say is definitely over kill where money is connected. McAfee’s decision to move to Belize sparked an interest hailed by the computing industry as the need for refuge from something unimaginable. 

McAfee started selling off his properties and toys in the American markets, after which he sold his portion of the McAfee Antivirus Company which today still bears his name. After amassing one hundred million dollars John McAfee turned his attentions to his new future of creating serums from jungle plants. 

John McAfee’s legacy has been a turbulent one for certain. However, the biggest impact of his questionable lifestyle is the potential negative association of his personal lifestyle choices and the reliability of the software he developed. Today, McAfee Antivirus is one of the top selling products across the world – however, this industry is primarily based on trust that consumers have in the brand, the people who develop the products and the ability of the products to reliably protect them from unwanted computer-based attacks. 

Based on these important factors, the future of McAfee Antivirus may indeed be linked to the unethical personal decisions founder John McAfee have made over his lifetime.

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 in England, but what he learned in America has powered his already hungriness for something more. 

After spending some years jumping around different companies in the technology world, Defence Aerospace leaders Lockheed Martin gave McAfee the tools to create his own software after he created software for them. McAfee Antivirus the direct result of the intellectual property of Lockheed Martin first hit the market in the late eighties prompting users to get a free download of his product built the stairway to success. 

Users after a given time were able to purchase extended use time licenses, which resulted in a big income change for John McAfee. So much so, the money was used to buy a new building since he’d been working out of his home. Changes here meant more money to spend, more things to own, more toys to buy and more people to hire to create his software. 

John McAfee was drawn into the lime light, fame and fortune at his feet in less and five years. He was on top of the world. With new-found money, John seemed to be looking for the playboy lifestyle. A lifestyle built on parties, cars, people, houses and properties. 

McAfee became absorbed in the idea of making serums from forest and jungle plants. He had a need to buy weapons to protect him and suddenly the sane John McAfee disappeared into money hungry mongrel. Was this sudden change of events linked to frivolous spending and unwise purchases? Was he fleeing America because he was investing into a drug ring? 

After liquidating his American properties, John McAfee fled to his new adopted country of Belize. He was found recently with a younger woman, old enough to be with him, but was this the image John McAfee wanted the world to know, a womanizer and a frantic spender? Only time will tell us how bad John McAfee’s life has gone corrupt.

However, one thing that can’t be argued is the impact that his personal life decisions have made on the company he founded and the products sold today. McAfee Antivirus software, like every other product in this competitive industry is based solely on the Trust that consumers have in the product, and more importantly – the people who created it originally. And based on the life style of John McAfee as being reported today, the trust factor that McAfee Antivirus once had seems to be fading into the sunset.

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 as John McAfee seemed to be. Luck is running away with every purchase and deed John McAfee needs to have. From fancy expensive toys to an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons, John McAfee’s choices in what to buy and how to protect himself, leads one to imagine he has done something extremely wrong.

Money, once you taste the freedom it gives, you never want to give up the power of being in the top most desirable millionaire sector. Buying never seems to stop, new cars, new homes, new airplanes, new boats and now a new life in Belize. After all the money spent on these material things, John McAfee decided to bail on his McAfee Antivirus Company. He sold his portion to his co-owner and partner. However, this is where the story truly develops and lends one to believe that his company’s products should be questioned for their reliability.

When he finally sold off everything for one hundred million dollars, John McAfee seemed to be set for life. Moving to Belize, we have to wonder if the move there was initiated by consenting age of girls living in the city. Sixteen seems to be pretty young, but apparently money busy happiness at some level. John McAfee, it seems his sexual scandal of the early nineties – is true.

Today, John McAfee is now wanted by police for his involvement in Drug manufacturing, distribution and potential involvement in the murder of his neighbor in Belize. These personal choices were not a sudden example of bad decision making by McAfee – it simply exposed the truth of how corrupted his entire life has been. And thus, must enter the minds of McAfee Antivirus users to whether or not the product is truly reliable.

The unarguable fact about the computer antivirus software industry is that consumers need to rely on the people who run these companies and who develop this software to protect their best interest 100% of the time. Trust is the most important asset in the Software SSL and especially with McAfee Antivirus industry. And it is apparent, that McAfee can’t be trusted – due to the personal actions of its founder and original software developer.

Whether or not you agree with this statement – the argument does hold water. When people engage in the type of behaviour that McAfee has over the years, this leads to lack of integrity and an overall lack of trust – in them, and the products they’ve developed or created over the years.

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 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.

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 was already making a name for himself with the release of his mass market McAfee antivirus software. Originally handed out for free, McAfee began charging private sector individuals and companies a fee for continued use of his product. 

The money started pouring in with this venture. First, it was a new office; the one he had been using was based at his home in Santa Clarita, California. Moving into a bigger place, meant more money to spend, McAfee software began its journey to fame as villains on the outside were stopped from reaching valuable information on the inside. It took brains to build this type of software, but where did the common sense go? 

McAfee, still a prime product on today’s market only has one owner, the co-creator. John McAfee sold out his portion of the McAfee Antivirus company to seek out a new venture in finding cures with jungle plants. John McAfee liquidated his American holdings, including homes, toys and investments to bring his original wealth to a grinding halt at one hundred million dollars. 

Money should never be put into the hands of someone who does not understand how to best spend it. In John McAfee’s position, buying unneeded necessities was his ultimate ruin. John McAfee saw what others had, dream houses, nice cars and planes. When the money landed on his hands, his dreams to join the playboy world unfolded. 

Now on the run in Belize under suspicion of drug smuggling, manufacturing, engaging in underage sexual relationships and even wanted in connection of murder, John McAfee’s choices in life have knocked him down from the mighty McAfee Antivirus creator to a common man with impulsive tastes and wild decisions. There is one sure thought here, money has proven one thing and one thing only; it is the beast at the root of John McAfee’s problems. 

But is it responsible for creating the personal choices he has made over the years? Most of the time, people who make poor decisions based on the money they’ve made are consumed by personal demons or even suffer with common depression issues like bi-polar tendencies or severe depression. 

But in McAfee’s case, I’m leaning towards arrogance and greed as being the biggest factor in the personal decisions he has made over the years. And it is this greed that led him to develop an antivirus program that must now be questioned as being trustworthy and reliable. 

McAfee is a deceiver – plain and simple. And apparently he has conned us all over the years.
