Famed anti-virus vendor McAfee is an independent company again as the sale of the majority of the firm to private equity firm TPG became final this morning. Current McAfee personnel, sales teams and support staff will remain in place, says Steve Grobman, the new company’s CTO. The change will mean that McAfee will be better able to focus on security, and will also be able to invest more in innovation, he says. He warns that cyber criminals may try to take advantage of the confusion with phishing attacks and urged customers to be on guard.”]
