As a person who has an interest in network security systems AND has looked at this case rather diligently, all I can say is that whatever he might have ingested, imbibed or inhaled in his younger years has LIKELY caught with McAfee.
Either he is a REALLY GOOD ACTOR....OR....he is a just plumb old crazy-arse of an old fogie!
His videos take the cake for weirdness in my opinion. BUT if you're sooooo filthy rich that you can afford your own SpecOps team to guard you...you can DEFINITELY say to the SEC and the world to go Smeg-Off !!!!!

On a second point where McAfee, Symantec, etc. anti-virus/malware scanners EAT you network time, I suggest you do what WE DO!!!!! We build a box that has a boatload of FPGA chips in it AND a huge bucketload of RAM (Four Terabytes) that do NOTHING BUT deep-packet inspection IN PARALLEL !!!
We take all the bits and bytes defined in various open-source scanning libraries and combine them into a MASSIVE in-memory databased into a HUUUUUUUUUGE hash-table for ultra quick binary-searching! It 1000x faster than ANY scanning product as we have ALL NAS storage send streams of bytes (via Raid-X architectures) during the double-write-to-disk process of a typical mirroring RAID scenario to the FPGA box BEFORe write-to-disks!
Any NEW viruses or malware that comes out has it digital signature uploaded to the FPGA scanning box and any found data is quarantined AT the mirror-write stage so it NEVER gets onto either copy of a hard disk if the streams of data is compromised.It's just a BIOS and NAS low-level driver hook and at 40 gigabit network speeds it no issue for us! We use Deep Packet Scanning techniques and Man-in-Middle technology to PREVENT encryption of payloads. Super encrypted payloads are simply BANNED from the network using our technique! EVERYTHING MUST BE SCANNED or it does NOT get in!
Since it's NOT on the server, our DNS and other services are NEVER overloaded and the SEPARATE 40 gigabits NAS server-to-FPGA-scanner-box fibre connection NEVER interferes with other network traffic!
It cost us less than $50,000 to do mostly in RAM memory cost which is a LOT CHEAPER than buying MULTIPLE $5000 to $20,000 US Enterprise-level firewall/antivirus appliances AND it is sooo much more secure since WE do all the software ourselves AND the BIOS requires a DIP switch in order to upgrade the custom scanning software and an actual electrical switch-on button to ADD new virus definitions!
So NO security issues with remote admin since it is NOT ALLOWED!!!!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
