Intel has bought McAffe for 7.68 billion. My question is why? Does anyone use McAffe anymore? Other than people who are too lazy to uninstall the default antivirus package on their computer and put something better on there? Seems odd why Intel would be interested in them. But, they are, so they bought them. McAffe is better than nothing, but they’re stuck in the old business model of paid antivirus software. It seems like most companies are moving towards free solutions, just look at the success of AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials. Oh well, competition is a good thing.
