    If you don’t know how to uninstall McAfee, here’s a video detailing how to do so from the late creator, John McAfee.

        That documentary about his life in Belize was rather scary. tldw: Barely legal mistresses paid to play along with his poop fetish, founding a pharma company with a single employee working from a small hut, then holding press conferences presenting fake medical breakthroughs, financing local gangs, corrupting police with gifts, having his neighbor killed, finally returning to the US and running as a presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party and occasionally gracing cable news as a technology expert.

    I think my wife accidentally installing Mcafee was one of the very few times I’ve been actually mad at her. I would have preferred her willingly installing a virus. They’re easier to get rid of.
