> He has a colorful personal life
I think the gp was referring to what accusations people have made of McAfee since he sold the company.
Showtime aired up a documentary[1] about him. I think "colorful personal life" can only be interpreted as a euphemism since he was accused of murder, rape, running a local armed gang, fleeing the country from the police, etc.
I have no reason to believe Kaspersky will have similar issues as I suspect McAfee was eccentric from the start.
