On February 11, 2010, McAfee, Inc. (“McAfee”), issued a press release announcing its preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby furnished and not filed.  Unless expressly incorporated into a filing of McAfee under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, made after the date hereof, the information contained in this Item 2.02 and in the furnished press release shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of McAfee, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

Item 8.01.          Other Events.

On February 11, 2010, McAfee announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million through December 2011. McAfee may begin the repurchase of its stock at the conclusion of its current quarterly blackout period following its announcement of fourth quarter 2009 financial results. Such repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. In connection with the stock repurchase program, McAfee may enter into a plan or plans that are compliant with Rule 10b5-1 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and amount of any stock repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other factors. These repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice.
