Just a quick note – I was shocked today to read that Intel is buying security market veteran Mcafee! That could (potentially) change the Security software landscape – although (by the looks of things), Mcafee will continue to operate as a semi-independent subsidiary of the microchip manufacturing giant.
We will see… Mcafee hasn’t released any truly note-worthy products for several years – maybe this is the “shot in the arm” they need to get back in the game. Time will tell…
say what?? I never heard about this. To me that doesn’t seem like a smart business move for Intel. I would agree that McCafee hasn’t produced anything worth blogging about in awhile. My top choices would be Webroot, Kaspersky, and Norton (Norton has regained my respect in it’s latest versions).

P.S. even after the buyout, still haven’t seen anything note-worthy. Even Comcast dropped them as their add-on Anti-virus/Anti-spyware and went with Norton instead.
