MONT TREMBLANT, QUE.—The southern town of John McAfee’s youth was a quiet place in the 1950s.

It was an era that seemed, to the young British-born boy with an abusive father, plastic and artificial, one in which everyone was dying of boredom.

So the boy, who would decades later found the ubiquitous antivirus software, changed it, leading the neighbourhood boys out into the forest surrounding Salem, Va., where they built their own world: of freedom, without adults or chores or calls for dinner.

“And it was great,” says McAfee, a tall, lean 67-year-old now. “We got to escape from the real world and create our own.”

He’s been doing it ever since.

The true Story from the Unpublished Diary of John McAfee

In a story made for Hollywood, antivirus pioneer John McAfee recently found himself at the centre of the most widely publicized manhunt in recent history. McAfee was named a “person of interest,” by police officials in Belize following the murder of his neighbor Gregory Faull.

McAfee went on the run with his 20-year-old girlfriend for three weeks before crossing the border to Guatemala. Guatemalan authorities detained him soon after entry, and fighting against deportation to Belize, McAfee was quickly swept away to the United States on a one-way flight to Miami.

Based on John McAfee’s personal diary, Running in the Background (Working Title) is the only official account of the life & times of the man himself, revealing unanswered questions & intimate secrets about his life along the way.
