The BBC reports that John McAfee is happy with the decision: "'I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users. ... My elation at Intel's decision is beyond words.'"
I love Cox cable, but I've never used their security software. I found this quote from John McAfee interesting when confirming that Intel had purchased the company and was going to change the name. It doesn't sound like he had much faith in his product.
