On Tuesday, John McAfee, best known for founding the eponymous software firm McAfee Security (to which is he no longer affiliated), filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission announcing his intent to run for the office of President of the United States.

In an interview with Wired which was posted earlier today, McAfee said that he was “still in a quandary about whether to run myself or find someone else for my party.”
“My advisors are pressing me to run,” the self-described “eccentric millionaire” told the magazine.

It seems as though the unnamed advisors won out by the end of the day.

In his filing, McAfee stated “I am founding a new party yet to be announced.” Ars contacted McAfee for clarification, who directed us to send questions to his campaign manager, Drew Thompson. “I believe you will get little information until our platform is fully outlined,” McAfee told us.
