Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

      On July 26, 2007, McAfee, Inc. ("McAfee") issued a press release
announcing its preliminary results for the secondquarter ended June 30, 2007. 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.

      The second quarter 2007 results are preliminary because McAfee (as
previously disclosed) has determined that it will need to restate its historical
financial statements to record additional non-cash charges for stock-based
compensation expense over a ten-year period. McAfee currently expects that the
aggregate non-cash charges that will result from the restatement will likely be
in the range of $100 million to $150 million. Further, in addition to non-cash
charges for stock-based compensation, McAfee expects there to be related tax
effects and other expenses incurred and other adjustments recorded as a result
of the restatement. These adjustments could also affect the preliminary results
announced by McAfee on July 26, 2007, which are presented without taking into
account any adjustments which will be required as a result of the restatement.

      McAfee intends to file its restated financial results and related periodic
reports as soon as practicable.

      The unaudited financial information furnished in Exhibit 99.1, including
second quarter 2007 net income and net income per share, as well as comparisons
of these amounts and related trends between periods are subject to change as a
result of the restatement described above. These changes are likely to affect
the unaudited financial information included in Exhibit 99.1 and some of these
effects may be material. Consequently, as previously disclosed, McAfee has
concluded that its previously filed financial statements and related financial
information for the periods presented herein, including any such information
included in Exhibit 99.1, should no longer be relied upon. The information
furnished in Exhibit 99.1 does not reflect any of the developments relating to
the review of prior period option grants.

      While McAfee believes that the unaudited financial information furnished
in Exhibit 99.1 has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States except for the uncertainties
for the above-noted items and except where specifically noted in such Exhibit
that a non-GAAP financial measure is used, it can give no assurance that all
adjustments are final and that all adjustments necessary to present its
financial information in accordance with GAAP have been identified. Therefore,
all results reported in the furnished Exhibit 99.1 should be considered
preliminary until McAfee files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2007.

      This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements which include those
regarding theexpected non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, related tax
effects and other expenses incurred and adjustments recorded as a result of the
restatement of McAfee's historical financial statements, and the timing of
McAfee's filing of its restated financial results and related periodic reports.
Actual results could vary perhaps materially and the expected results may not
occur. In particular, McAfee will be required to make adjustments to its
unaudited preliminary secondquarter 2007results in addition to its financial
results previously reported for prior periods, as a result of its investigation
into its stock option grant practices. The forward-looking statements contained
in this Form 8-K are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including
those more fully described in McAfee's filings with the SEC including its annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and its quarterly
reports filed on Form 10-Q.
