McAfee name case

Intel tells founder he can’t use his name

The Santa Clara-based antivirus software maker was acquired by Intel in 2011 for $7.7 billion and was renamed Intel Security Group.

John McAfee was recently appointed as the CEO of MGT Capital Investments Inc. after his company D-Vasive was brought by MGT. He revealed his intentions to continue the McAfee name legacy and planned to rename MGT as John McAfee Global Technologies Inc.
