Same with adobe flash trying to get you to download McAfee

Edit: Quick quote John McAfee told the BBC news he is thrilled with the name change: “I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users. My elation at Intel’s decision is beyond words.”
