McAfee Gets Rid Of General Counsel

In connection with that review, the Company became aware of one episode involving the General Counsel in 2000 that was improper. As a result, the Board has terminated his employment.

The Audit Committee is continuing the review of other option granting practices and has retained independent counsel to assist it in that effort. The Company has had communications on the subject of option grants with staff of both the Securities & Exchange Commission and the Justice Department.
