According to Intel CEO Brian Krzanich , McAfee will be officially replaced by Intel Security . This will also represent not only anti-virus software but also all of Intel's security products and services.

According to Krzanich , the application of the new name will take place " immediately " but there will be a year to gradually convert. The red shield icon symbolizing " security and security core values " will remain the same.

Intel bought McAfee in August 2010 for $ 7.7 billion (Intel paid 48 dollars per share ). Currently, McAfee is held but still works in tandem with Intel.

According to some opinions, the change of name was to avoid the misfortune of John McAfee's founder when he was a suspect in a murder.

Speaking to the BBC, John McAfee said he was delighted with Intel's change and felt " liberated" when he had been reacted by millions of users around the world.
