John McAfee resurfaces as ranting video star, mocks McAfee software (DNAIndia)
Eccentric former software pioneer John McAfee is back in the spotlight – lashing out at the anti-virus software that bears his name in a profanity-laced video.

He has begun producing a series of YouTube videos, the first of which lampoons the McAfee anti-virus software company that he founded in the late 1980s and that is now owned by Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC). He has not worked for the business in more than 15 years.
