    John McAfee, the eccentric 67-year-old pioneer of computer antivirus software, is wanted for questioning about the slaying of a neighbor in Belize, police said Monday.

    McAfee is a "person of interest" in the killing of American expatriate, Gregory Faull, who was shot and killed Saturday night at his home on the island of Ambergris Caye, a police spokesman said.

    Jeff Wise, writing for Gizmodo, reported that McAfee and Faull had been "at odds for some time."

    "Last Wednesday, Faull filed a formal complaint against McAfee with the mayor's office, asserting that McAfee had fired off guns and exhibited 'roguish behavior,' " Gizmodo reported. "Their final disagreement apparently involved dogs."

    Gizmodo, which reported last week on McAfee's purportedly bizarre activities in Belize, said that his behavior "has become increasingly erratic, and by his own admission he had begun associating with some of the most notorious gangsters in Belize."

    Gizmodo said McAfee was involved in the "intensive use of psychosis-inducing hallucinogens" and that this "would go a long way toward explaining his growing estrangement from his friends and from the community around him."

    Mcafee never made any money off me. I never liked the Mcafee antivirus program and found it a resource hog. Any PC I bought that came preloaded with the anti-virus was quickly removed.

    The very first computer I bought, came with McAffee and it wasn't too bad in the beginning. When it came time for me to renew it I chose not to. I think I went with one of the free antivirus programs such as AV. In my opinion both McAffee and Norton became terrible and I will never use their software again and I absolutely loath Norton. I am using MSE, Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, they all work well for me.
