McAfee partners with Lenovo

McAfee has announced a global partnership with Lenovo. Beginning Aug 2009,
all Windows 7- based Lenovo consumer PCs under the Idea brand have been
pre-installed with McAfee's VirusScan Plus, thus providing consumers worldwide
with powerful protection from the first time they switch on their new PCs. As a
part of Lenovo and McAfee's plan to develop a more aggressive partnership in
China, McAfee's anti-virus product suites will also be marketed through Lenovo's
2,000 retail outlets in China, providing Chinese PC users with easier access to
the products.

Lenovo Idea Product PC buyers can use McAfee VirusScan Plus for free for 90
days to ensure they can start up their new PCs with the peace of mind that comes
from essential online protection. Following the 90-day trial period, consumers
will be able to purchase extended protection online or at one of the more than
2000 Lenovo retail stores across China.

“All of these benefits underscore McAfee and Lenovo's commitment to the
Chinese consumer market,” explained George Man, MD, McAfee Greater China.
“McAfee and Lenovo also co-launched a rich promotional campaign for consumers
which give Lenovo customers a triple surprise,” Man added.

Liu Jun, Sr VP-Lenovo Group and President-Idea Product Group said, “With the
Internet becoming an integral part of people's lives, online security is
increasingly critical. As a leading PC maker, Lenovo is committed to providing
our customers with the most reliable, secure and easy-to-use products and
services. In order to help ensure users' online security, Lenovo has chosen to
partner with McAfee, a recognized leader in the field.”
