<DIV><SPAN id=articleBody>Intel shook up the security landscape Thursday,
announcing that it has agreed to acquire antivirus software maker McAfee for $48
per share, or $7.68 billion. The deal, if it passes regulatory muster, would
enable the chipmaker to offer tightly integrated hardware and software security
solutions for PCs, servers, and mobile devices.
<P>Intel said it plans to operate McAfee as wholly-owned subsidiary within its
Software and Services group. Company officials said the increase in threats that
target online computing is a major reason behind the acquisition.
