" I'm constantly under attack, yet I use no software protection.
I protect myself by constantly changing my IP [internet protocol] address, by not attaching my name to any device I use, and by not going on to sites where you might pick up a virus.
Porn sites, for example, I just don't go there.
Secondly, I practise safe computing. If someone sends me an email with a link, I'm not going there until I can call the person to verify that they sent me the email.
It sounds absurd to live that way, but I would rather trust my own devices and thoughts than someone else's software."
Seems like the thought process of a paranoid Luddite, doesn't it?
No, in fact these are the words of none other than the founder of one of the leading anti virus solutions in the world - John McAfee.
Go figure.

P.S. - Didn't know Mr McAfee led such an interesting life. Check out the videos here (Screen grab below)
THIS IS WAY MORE CRAZY THAN I HAD EVER IMAGINED!
