Where THE HELL is the movie about this man's life?!

Since John McAfee has passed on it's probably not a coincidence that this is now trending in my recommended feed!

And the McAfee saga ends in a wild but somehow not-unexpected manner: questionable suicide in a Spanish prison. Couldn't imagine anything more McAfee-esque.

Because of Mcaffee and my dad's technological stupidity, and my own curiosity, I learned at age 11 how to wipe a drive and fresh install a new os. Thanks Mcaffee

1995 I contracted the DOOM2DEATH virus. Called McAfee and they sent me a free disk with their cleaner for it. Worked and I went back to gaming. Thats my story.

There are now 3 types of people in this comment thread: those from 2015 who watched at release, those from 2021 who just learned of his death, and the combination of the two who need to rewatch this madness.

RIP. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

I'm watching this again in 2021 shortly after John McAfee's death, he really did lead an unusual life.

You can still sense the abusive childhood trauma he had, through his software.

I WANT TO GET OFF MCAFEE'S WILD RIDE

McAfee didn't uninstall itself.

Well well well... interesting timing KZfaq algorithm...

McAfee may protect you from viruses... _but what protects you from McAfee?_ edit: yes, yes, spanish prison. you all are very funny and smart

Hahaha, such a crazy, sad decline. I had no clue he was running for President, though.

Came to say you were a real one McAfee. Now hopefully you can evade those taxes in the sky.

McAfee didn't uninstall himself

Hey you left out when he was in Belize, he surrounded himself with a harem of 16-17 girls!

Wow! So Mr. McAfee is basically a mix between The Wolf of Wall Street and Big Boss. Amazing story.

McAfee's wild ride has come to an end. John's license has expired.

Man why do I see this in the recommended list now! man passed away in his cell. Legend lives on. RIP McAfee

"I want to get off Mr. MacAfee's Wild Ride!" "Mr. MacAfees Wild Ride is too intense for me!"

He'd charge a fee you say? Why wouldn't he charge a...McAfee?? A HARDY HAR HAR

Conspiracy theory: McAfee intentionally started letti g himself go so his reputation would get his name taken off the software LOL

this certainly is a youtube recommendation

Oh my not those Data Diddlers ( ° ʖ °)

He just needed to make an iron man suit and would have secured his status as awesome

He allegedly killed himself in prison today. R.I.P. to a man who was truly larger than life and was more free in prison than most people trapped in their daily lives. R.I.P. John. You really left a mark on us.

After hearing about his death, i had to come back to this video

This is a TV quality program. Seriously why has no one ever talked about this on a documentary because I feel like I just watched a full hour one. It's entertaining as hell, I learned a lot about virus scanning programs and it's direct and to the point. Not too fast that I can't keep up. The research you do must be extensive as fuck and I appreciate the editing.

These Tech Tales are the best history lessons ever and I hated history class in school, not because of the subject matter, history is very interesting but because of how boring and dry our teacher was. There should be computer history as a required class for programmers honestly. Always know where we came from.

RIP McAfee, nice recommendation KZfaq

Funny this gets recommended now... RIP ya crazy sob.

Wait....it isn't normal to down bottles of scotch while at work?? I....I gotta go....

The algorithm is truly sadistic

RIP John McAfee 18 September 1945 - 23 June 2021 what a guy

LGR (2015): "This crazy John McAfee dude's even running for president! How crazy is that?!" Me, four years later: "dude..."

Instead of shooting his neighbor...He should've shot Norton.

I actually liked "McAfee" when the guy himself was running it. After he sold the software with his name on it I started to jokingly call it a virus whenever I saw it on someone's machine. John McAfee is definitely a goofy guy, but he knows his stuff. I kind of wish he'd come back to the computer world and start programming again.

Of all channels of McAfee vids to get recommended, it’s from LGR. Pleasantly surprised. RIP king.

Who is here after McAfee's news of death? R.I.P John McAfee, your name will live on crappy bloatware for years to come....

LGR is quickly becoming my favorite weeklyish KZfaq gaming channel.

I remember when I worked for GNN under AOL in the 90s I would hear of McAfee deleting boot sectors or windows startup files.

I honestly thought this was a new video, with the way it popped up on my youtube front page so i was wondering why there was no mention of his death till' i scrolled down and noticed "2015" guess i just missed this video 5 years ago.

This video is going to get a new wave of attention. I live close to where he died, and i had no idea he was arrested here, lol. This dude never ceases to surprise.

This is up their with your very best work. An absolute pleasure to watch stuff like this :)

This was very interesting, thanks for posting. On a side note, these days I wonder why people still use _any_ third party anti-virus programs at all. It seems all of them (at least the free versions) are starting to behave more like viruses, asking you to reinstall after you've uninstalled them, throwing up popups pestering you to upgrade to paid status, and worst of all, silently disabling Defender in Windows 10. (Which may be intended behavior of Windows 10 rather than the fault of the scanner, but I still don't like it.)

I never hear it called Intel security. they still call it McAfee

... I honestly thought the whole Belize thing was a joke. Nope, it's real. John is a LEGEND.

After seeing this, it would not surprise me if McAfee actually killed himself just to troll the world.

Rest In Peace king

This recommendation just showed up and I can't help but wonder if this video is some how part of McAfee's rumoured dead man's switch.

McAfee is still an industry giant for enterprise security solutions. We use it at my organization. (the one I work for, not my puny KZfaq channel)

The algorithm had a twisted sense of humor recommending me this after his suicide

Did anyone else get recommended this after his death?

This is popping up on people's recommendations. LGR should make an update to this.

I was going to skip this but then I thought, "Oh wait, LGR makes this sort of thing interesting to watch!"

The YT algorithm certainly is something...

He didn't kill himself.

Getting this recommended now hits different.

John McAfee is running for president? Damn, he should be right up there with Deez Nuts.

Feels like there should be an update or an addendum considering McAfee's passing.

Ok KZfaq algorithm, I see what you did there 😀

“It’s not over yet” 2021 walks out of Spain “it is now”

Hey guys, i´ve subtittled the McAfee video to brazillian portuguese hope someone enjoy Cheers

Your the man LGR all this stuff you talk about is so interesting. Youve definetly earned my patreon contribution! Keep kicking out this badass content cause im almost done binge watching the old ones! Lol

Well, this seems to be blowing up after... certain events.

I guess that's one inherent "downside" to anti-virus and anti-malware software, in terms of perception. If it's doing its job well in a non-intrusive way - it'll _appear_ like nothing is happening or being done.

386 thumbs-up for this! Thank you for making this. The real history of computer software is full of infinitely fascinating stories. Keep up the good work!

How about for the next one you cover Id software or John Carmack since the new Doom is coming out next year.

McAfee's not dead, he's just updating. Seriously though, what a crazy life. RIP Mr. McAfee.

Interesting getting this recommended to me now

I could listen your tech tales for hours.

Wonder how far I'd have to scroll down these comments to find anything related to whales.

McAfee didn't kill himself

This guy needs his own movie just like Jordan Belfort (Wolf of wall Street)

I like that he tried to be Big Boss

weird how i got a mcafee ad while watching this hahaha

Who else returned to watch this again after hearing the news?

I'm a big fan on how impartial you are in these tech tales. You state the facts and don't embellish one way or the other, and that's hard to come by. You could have easily put a slant on this and either praised or criticized the man's actions, but instead you simply tell us what happened and why. Nicely done.

You could make a movie on this man!

Rip, the glowies got to him

Ah, the video that got me to subscribe! Such a wild ride life has been since then, but it's been great to watch your videos along the way! And as an aside, I still recommend this video to people; the story is just so crazy, it's hard to believe it isn't a movie plot.

I am now going to call viruses "data diddlers." That is the greatest term I've ever heard.

"His home was raided, his dog was killed, and his house was burned down" John Wick John McAfee OH S H I T

There is a documentary on Netflix (Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee) worth watching

Had to come back to this one after that closing chapter that lives up to the legend.

KZfaq recommendation: Not now KZfaq recommendation 5 years later after news breaks out on Mcafee's death: N O W

The guy reminds me of Hank Scorpio.

You probably know why I'm watching this again today

John McAfee passed away yesterday at 23rd of June 2021, but his legacy shall live on in the millions of computers saved, including mine, from viruses, with the help of his McAfee Antivirus

Halt and catch fire captured his look at 4:05 perfectly for Joe MacMillan! Thanks for another great video! :D

He protecc, He attacc, but most importantly, he fills of bloatware your Macc.

"accused of making a private militarized army in Belize" Ok, so McAfee basically took MGS PeaceWalker too seriously.

This was the video that slapped me in the face to get on Patreon with LGR. Love this guy.

I don't think it's a coincidence that this showed up recommended to me _now_

Someone actually fucking bought me McAfee virus scan for Christmas in '09. I never called them back.

And this is why you should install CCleaner. Bloat-ware sucks.

I would like to see an updated version of this video in the light of what happened to McAfee in jail.

I love these kinds of videos, between this, oddware and reviewing old tech and gamess I played as a kid this is one of my most favorite KZfaq channels. But I do have one problem, I'm running out of LGR videos to watch that I haven't already seen.
