I came across something quite awkward yesterday. I wouldn't
manage to find my way back to the article (URL), but there
was something to imply that McAfee had snuck its nose into
the Linux mobile platform alliance. I can't recall the
context and I don't see why mobiles would be a form of
attraction to an AV maker, especially given that Linux is
used. Speaking of selling a placebo...
