Who’s it’s current owner? Since intel sold them, I assume they’ve gone between owners?

Does McAfee ever do something that isn't bad or worse?

Perhaps a more neutral phrasing: What is the value proposition for McAfee, in a world where basic anti-malware is built into most major OSs and their competitors are largely viewed as superior for the functions that they can offer?

"On September 7, 2016, Intel announced a strategic deal with TPG Capital to convert Intel Security into a joint venture between both companies called McAfee. That deal closed on April 3, 2017. Thoma Bravo took a minority stake in the new company, and Intel maintains a 49% stake."
