John McAfee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John McAfee (born September, 1945) is a software engineer and founder of McAfee. He was one the first people to design anti-virus software. He was born in England and raised in Roanoke, Virginia. He received his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Roanoke College in 1967.

John was employed at Missouri Pacific Railroad (MP) as Manager of the Applications Programming Group (TCS Project) from 1970 until December 1972. Before that he was employed by the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP).

While employed by Lockheed in the 1980s, McAfee received a copy of the Pakistani Brain computer virus and began developing software to combat viruses. He distributed anti viral software using the shareware business model. In 1989, he quit Lockheed and founded his anti-virus company McAfee Associates, which he operated from his home in Santa Clara, California.

This company later became Network Associates, a name it retained for seven years until it was renamed McAfee, which remains today as one of the largest anti-virus companies in the world. John McAfee teaches Yoga [1] and has written several books about Yoga [2].
