John McAfee Triggers the Ultimate False Positive

Barence writes "The wild man of antivirus software, John McAfee, has been forced to deny reports of his own death. Internet reports circulating last night claimed the hard-living security software entrepreneur had died after one too many drink and drugs sessions. However, McAfee has taken to his Twitter account in the past few hours to assure everyone that he's still alive, and hasn't mislaid his sense of humour.'"I felt great when I went to bed last night. I had such great plans,' tweeted McAfee, alongside a link to a report — now hastily withdrawn — that claimed he had died from an overdose."

This is McAfee. Can we trust him when he says he isn't dead?

he'll probably be given a TV show, or something.

Has anyone seen "The Addams Family"?

• They're creepy and they're kooky,
• Mysterious and spooky,
• They're all together ooky,
• The McAffe Family.
• Their house is a museum
• Where people come to see 'em
• They really are a scream
• The McAffe Family.
• (Neat)
• (Sweet)
• (Petite)
• So get a witches shawl on
• A broomstick you can crawl on
• We're gonna pay a call on
• The McAffe Family.

Ultimate False Positive?

That reminds me, someone should write a virus that when an antivirus detects it and displays the messagebox "virus removed", the virus shows an additional messagebox saying "Reports claiming this virus' removal have been greatly exaggerated."
