Enhanced Mobile Portfolio from McAfee, Inc. Helps Secure Devices for
Work, Personal Life and Commerce

McAfee Announces New Mobile Security Suite, Business Ready Program
and
Beta of McAfee WaveSecure Software for Android Tablets

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- February 22, 2011 -- McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE)
today announced that it is furthering its commitment to securing
devices for work, personal life and commerce with enhanced mobile
device offerings. These new consumer to business-ready solutions,
which are part of the McAfee mobile security portfolio, make it easier
for device manufacturers and service providers to differentiate their
offerings with security safeguards against device loss, data theft and
malware.

McAfee is helping to set a new standard in mobile device security with
its new Mobile Security Suite and Business Ready Program. McAfee has
now bundled its WaveSecure and VirusScan® Mobile technologies as a
single licence for partners, allowing users to remotely lock, locate,
back-up, wipe and restore their stolen or lost devices, while at the
same time protecting them against malware threats that originate via
email, instant messaging and Internet downloads. This McAfee® mobile
security offering is available immediately to McAfee partners.

The McAfee "Business Ready" program, which is set to launch in Q2
2011, will enable partners to pre-load or load McAfee® Enterprise
Mobility Management (McAfee® EMMTM) client software with the McAfee
Mobile Security consumer client technology. With every device that is
loaded with WaveSecure, VirusScan Mobile or the mobile suite, McAfee
will also include the McAfee EMM client, making the device ready to be
connected to the enterprise secured by McAfee EMM software. This
enables consumers to purchase a device that is "business ready,"
making it easier for them to bring their device to work, while also
enabling McAfee partners to better serve their consumer and enterprise
customer segments.

Smartphones and Tablets Gaining Momentum
In International Data Corporation (IDC)´s "Worldwide Quarterly
Mobile Phone, Media Tablet, and eReader Trackers," December 2010, IDC
predicted unit shipments of smartphones and tablets would eclipse PCs
in 2011. By the end of 2010, IDC expects more than 21 per cent of all
handsets devices shipped to partners worldwide will be smartphones
converged mobile devices, the first time this has occurred. In
comparison, 15 per cent of all devices shipped in 2009 were
smartphones converged mobile devices.

"The proliferation of mobile devices has really determined the need
for protection that can span beyond the consumer to the enterprise,"
said Todd Gebhart, senior vice president and general manager of small
business, consumer and mobile security. "Our goal is to help our
partners differentiate their device or their service, make it easier
for our consumer customers to bring their device to work when they're
ready, but rest assured that their own data is protected, and enable
our business customers to offer guidance to their end-users."

Addressing the Market Need for both Consumer and Enterprise Customers
McAfee Mobile Security offers a real-time defence against emerging
threats that target mobile devices, mobile services and mobile
content. McAfee WaveSecure software, which is available in 16
languages, has already achieved more than one million downloads direct
to consumers. WaveSecure allows users to enjoy their mobile lifestyle
without worry - users can find their missing phone with alarm and
location tracking, prevent misuse with remote lock and wipe and
preserve important memories and personal data with remote backup, even
from a lost or misplaced phone.

McAfee has now entered the beta testing phase with partners and end
users for its WaveSecureTM Software for Android Tablets. This edition
is specifically designed to operate with Android tablets that have
WiFi connectivity. The product
 will be available for partners and direct to
consumers by Q2 2011.

McAfee VirusScan Mobile software protects mobile devices from viruses
and malicious applications and helps keep critical communication
features always working. It automatically secures mobile devices by
scanning and cleaning files, emails, Internet downloads, text and MMS
messages and attachments. VirusScan Mobile software requires minimal
mobile computing and memory resources, allowing users to access their
devices' functions, without interruption. VirusScan Mobile software
solution is it also available as a Software Development Kit (SDK) for
OEM customers to use for embedded systems and has been shipped in
over
100 million mobile devices.

device choice, while delivering secure and easy access to mobile
corporate applications. With secure mobile application access, strong
authentication, high availability, scalable architecture and
compliance reporting via McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator® platform,

- including employee-owned smartphones and tablets - that IT applies
to laptops and desktops.
