URGENT REMINDER – YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

 

 

Dear Stockholder:   

October 28, 2008

You have previously received proxy materials in connection with the special meeting of stockholders of Secure Computing Corporation to be held on Friday, November 14, 2008 and according to our latest records, your PROXY VOTE for this meeting STILL HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED.

Secure Computing is asking shareholders to vote on Proposal 1: To approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan the Merger among McAfee, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of McAfee, and Secure Computing; Proposal 2: To adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies. Please see the proxy materials previously mailed to you for additional information.

Since the required vote to approve Proposal 1 is by an affirmative vote of a majority of all shares outstanding eligible to vote, if you do not vote with respect to Proposal 1, your failure to vote will have the effect of a vote AGAINST this proxy agenda. I would appreciate your immediate attention to the mailing of the enclosed proxy.

Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that they be represented at the special stockholders meeting. Your vote matters to us and we need your support. Please vote your shares now so that your vote can be counted without delay.

We strongly encourage you to vote your shares today. Voting is easy. You may utilize one of the options below to ensure that your vote is promptly recorded in time for the special stockholders meeting:
