Supposedly McAfee antivirus software turned awful after being taken over by Intel

McAfee was only bought by Intel in 2011, it was getting worse and worse for years before that.

True, though wikipedia says McAfee left the company in 1994. So his story of other people messing up his software still seems plausible to me.

Hard to say either way. McAfee AV was heavily tied into the popularity of consumer desktops, so before Windows 95 and beyond, it was a tadpole compared to what it grew into.
