I uninstalled McAfee today, about half an hour ago. Just now I redd in Google News that John McAfee, creator of antivirus software, committed suicide.
WHAT HAVE I DONE???
Okay, I shouldn't joke about such a thing, but . . . geez.

Last I read about him he had escaped murder charges in Central America and married a (literal) prostitute in Miami.

Yeah, he was pretty out there. He thought they were all out to get him. They were of course, but probably not for the reasons he thought.

He was an anachronism as others pointed out. Super paranoid, and likely manic as hell. OTOH he knew how to make gobs of money.
I wonder when the last time he hung out with anyone sane.
His suicide makes total sense to me.

I think he was a gifted programmer/hacker who luckily caught the front of the demand wave for anti-virus software. I don't think he had any general aptitudes for making money.

I can substantiate that. I uninstalled it today and I'm still getting INCREDIBLY ANNOYING popups. Where oh where are they coming from?
