A new Netflix documentary, Running With The Devil: The Wild World Of John McAfee, tries to make sense of a confusing and ultimately tragic life
Say the name John McAfee and to most British readers, all that will conjure up is the computer pop-up of the “McAfee antivirus” program that he invented back in the ‘80s. So far, so Silicon Valley., there was much, much more to McAfee than a desire to rid your long-suffering computer of some pesky malware.
While at Lockheed in the early ‘80s, he started to pick up on the rise in computer viruses, and how they had the potential to destroy the industry. He created an antivirus software that could detect a computer virus and remove it automatically, which he named VirusScan. As it was one of the first anti-virus programs on the market, he launched his company McAfee Associates off the back of it. By the start of the ‘90s, he was making an estimated $5 million a year.
He spent a lot of time in Belize in a mansion he owned on Ambergris Caye beach, but he claimed to have been targeted by the police, especially when he was arrested for unlicensed drug manufacturing and possession of an unlicensed weapon, again. !”, they travelled with him to Guatemala, where an increasingly paranoid McAfee believed he was being targeted by the national army, and anyone else who happens to be walking past.He was arrested for illegally entering Guatemala and was due to be deported back to Belize. That's when he faked a heart attack, and he flew back to America after being released, where he jumped straight back into the party lifestyle in South Beach, Miami.
