McAfee於1987年時由[[約翰·邁克菲]]創立，是第一個商業化防毒軟體公司，2011年2月，McAfee公司成為[[英特爾]]旗下的全資子公司<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.mcafee.com/us/about/news/2011/q1/20110228-01.aspx | work=McAfee News | title=Intel Completes Acquisition of McAfee | date=2011-02-28 | access-date=2015-12-26 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827102142/http://www.mcafee.com/us/about/news/2011/q1/20110228-01.aspx | archive-date=2011-08-27 | dead-url=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11025866 | work=BBC News | title=Intel in $7.68bn McAfee takeover | date=2010-08-19 | accessdate=2015-12-26 | archive-date=2011-02-22 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110222025629/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11025866 | dead-url=no }}</ref>，隸屬於英特爾安全（Intel Security）部門的一部份，英特爾在2014年宣佈將在未來停止使用McAfee的品牌名稱<ref name="Telegraph">{{cite news|last1=Harmsworth|first1=Vere|title=CES 2014: Intel's security rebranding sheds Mcafee name|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/ces/10556534/CES-2014-Intels-security-rebranding-sheds-Mcafee-name.html|accessdate=2015-01-05|work=The Telegraph|date=2014-01-07|archive-date=2020-04-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200425032946/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/ces/10556534/CES-2014-Intels-security-rebranding-sheds-Mcafee-name.html|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

2016年9月7日，英特爾與[[TPG資本]]達成協議，將Intel Security轉變為一[[合資公司]]，並重新命名為McAfee。由英特爾掌握49%股份，而TPG資本則擁有51%股份，該交易於2017年4月3日完成。<ref>{{Cite web |title=Intel sells McAfee security unit to TPG |url=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/intel-nears-deal-to-sell-mcafee-security-unit-to-tpg-2016-09-07-151035827 |accessdate=2021-03-10 |date=2016-09-07 |work=MarketWatch |publisher=The Wall Street Journal |language=en-US |author1=Dana Mattioli |author2=Matt Jarzemsky |author3=Don Clark |archive-date=2020-10-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201003134223/https://www.marketwatch.com/story/intel-nears-deal-to-sell-mcafee-security-unit-to-tpg-2016-09-07-151035827 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=McAfee is back after Intel completes sale to private equity |url=http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/3007791/mcafee-is-back-after-intel-completes-sale-to-private-equity |accessdate=2021-03-10 |author=Ben Woods |date=2017-04-04 |work=V3 |publisher=Incisive Business Media |language=en |archive-date=2019-02-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212214706/https://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/3007791/mcafee-is-back-after-intel-completes-sale-to-private-equity |dead-url=yes }}</ref>

2010年4月，McAfee公開承認他們的防毒軟體升級過程中的一個缺陷，造成更新的作業系統癱瘓。全球數百萬McAfee軟體用戶亦發生同樣的問題，包括美國的公司、醫院和學校及智利司法部門。主因是防毒軟體升級後在偵測[[Windows XP]]時，第5958號病毒碼誤把其中的[[svchost.exe]]檔案視為惡意程式，而錯將其刪除，導致作業系統進入不斷[[重新啟動]]的循環，且造成電腦無法存取[[網際網路]]。McAfee隨後發布一個將第5958號替換為5959號病毒碼的緊急[[修補程式]]來修復該問題。<ref>{{Cite web |title=InfoSec Handlers Diary Blog |url=https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=8656 |accessdate=2021-03-10 |author=Guy Bruneau |date=2010-04-21 |work=SANS Internet Storm Center |language=en |archive-date=2012-07-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120722011627/http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=8656 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Botched McAfee update shutting down corporate XP machines worldwide |url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/mcafee-update--shutting-down-xp-machines/ |accessdate=2021-03-10 |author=Nilay Patel |date=2010-04-21 |publisher=Engadget |language=en-US |archive-date=2010-04-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100422205355/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/mcafee-update--shutting-down-xp-machines/ |dead-url=no }}</ref>
