McAfee, Inc. Teams with American Red Cross on Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today announced support for the relief efforts of Hurricane Katrina with an initial company donation of $50,000 and also announced its intention to match funds through a global employee contribution matching program.

The McAfee Grant will be used to help support the immediate humanitarian relief efforts and will support the American Red Cross's Hurricane 2005 Relief Fund. McAfee will immediately match the total of employee donations on a one-to-one basis to the fund.

McAfee is also identifying short-term needs for McAfee product donations to support emergency response and recovery efforts.

Finally, McAfee's Employee Volunteer Office Leaders are identifying volunteer needs near its largest US offices.

"During a natural disaster of this scale, it is critical for corporations, individuals and governments to join forces to help those affected to overcome the disaster," said George Samenuk, chairman and CEO of McAfee.
