McAfee and Intel are launching a new all-in-one security software suite known as LiveSafe. LiveSafe has an emphasis on protecting all of the devices in your home including phones, tablets, and PCs. LiveSafe is compatible with Windows, Android, BlackBerry, and iOS, but not yet Windows Phone or Chromebooks.
McAfee, a security solutions company owned by Intel, is acquiring Stonesoft Oyj for $389 million in cash. Stonesoft is known for developing firewall protection products. The acquisition will enable McAfee to expand their product line with a focus on next-generation firewalls, evasion prevention systems, and SSL VPN solutions.
John McAfee, the founder of McAfee anti-virus software, became wanted for murder in November, hid out in Guatemala, got arrested, and then fled to Miami. Warner Brothers bought the rights to the Wired e-book called “John McAfee’s Last Stand.”
Dave DeWalt became the CEO of security startup company FireEye last year. FireEye raised $50 million and the company is now valued at $1.25 billion. DeWalt is the former CEO of McAfee, which sold under his watch to Intel for $7.8 billion. He also oversaw the acquisition of Documentum’s $1.7 billion acquisition by EMC. DeWalt’s track record speaks for itself. Getting McAfee back on track and then selling it was an uphill battle.
The John McAfee saga continues. He was wanted for murder in Belize, but was able to escape to Guatemala. He has now been deported from Guatemala to Miami, Florida. His fate now rests in the hands of the relations between Belize and the United States. The Belize government wants McAfee back there so he can be questioned for the murder of his neighbor there named Gregory Faull.
John McAfee, the founder of anti-virus company McAfee Inc., has been arrested by the police. McAfee was on the run from the police in Belize for murder and other crimes. McAfee was attempting to get asylum from Guatemala.

John McAfee is on the run. You may know McAfee as being the founder of the McAfee anti-virus software that sold to Intel for $7.7 billion in 2010. Last month we wrote about how McAfee is wanted for murder in Belize. It turns out that he was able to escape the country and is now in Guatemala. McAfee confirmed that he is there on his blog:
John McAfee is the founder of the McAfee antivirus software company. Now he is wanted for murder in Belize according to a Gizmodo guest writer named Jeff Wise. Mr. McAfee is a suspect for the murder of an American named Gregory Faull. Mr. Faull was shot in his home on Saturday night. Mr. Faull previously filed a complaint against Mr. McAfee for firing off guns with “roguish behavior.”
