    SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc.
(NYSE: MFE), today announced that its Board of Directors has terminated the
employment of its General Counsel, Kent Roberts.  The Company had previously
disclosed that it is reviewing prior practices in connection with grants of
employee stock options.

    In connection with that review, the Company became aware of one episode
involving the General Counsel in 2000 that was improper. As a result, the Board
has terminated his employment. The Audit Committee is continuing the review of
other option granting practices and has retained independent counsel to assist
it in that effort. The Company has had communications on the subject of option
grants with staff of both the Securities & Exchange Commission and the Justice
Department.
