McAfee Finally Gets The Sweet Deal It Craved
Talk about a reversal of fortune: A few months back, McAfee was confronted with a major disaster when a glitch-ridden AV update took down thousands of customers PCs.

Fast forward a few months, and McAfee gets acquired by Intel for a 60 percent premium. You think the champagne corks might be popping over at McAfee headquarters?
The deal is subject to regulatory approval, of course, but McAfee, which has long been the subject of acquisition rumors, couldn't have hoped for a better scenario.
