In his latest loony video, kooky software king John McAfee has gone from Silicon Valley pioneer to a playboy that would make Hugh Hefner blush.
The eccentric millionaire, who had been sought for questioning in a murder case in Central America, gets a lap dance, snorts 'bath salts' and shows off a collection of guns in the spoof clip posted on his blog Wednesday.
Entitled, 'The McAfee Guide to Uninstalling McAfee Antivirus,' the 67-year-old takes aim at the software empire that he built in the 1980s.
'Although I've had nothing to do with this company for over 15 years, I still get volumes of mail asking, 'How do I uninstall this software?' I have no idea,' says a silk robe-dressed McAfee before setting a bill on fire to light a cigarette.
He then reads a couple of letters from people complaining that the software is slowing down their computers and is requiring them to download updates at inopportune times.

While he asks a friend to explain to viewers how to uninstall the software, a group of busty women undress McAfee, grope him and watch as he inhales a white powder labeled 'bath salts.'

By the end, McAfee goes on a tear about his former company, which is currently owned by Intel but still bears his name.
'Fifteen years ago, I had some beautiful software and they took it over. I don't know what they did,' he says.
His solution for uninstalling the anti-virus program: He grabs a pistol and fires at his computer screen.

McAfee has previously said he's not too fond of the software, telling FT Weekend Magazine in December that he takes it off his computer.
'It's too annoying,' he said.
The lampooning of his namesake company is only the latest bizarre turn in a past year that has seen McAfee go off the rails.

After leaving the U.S. for Belize about six years ago, the British-born entrepreneur ended up clashing with his neighbor, who apparently wasn't happy about McAfee's dogs.

The animals were found poisoned just before neighbor Gregory Viant Faull, also an ex-pat American, was discovered dead Nov. 11 with a gunshot wound to the head.
Belizean authorities have called McAfee a 'person of interest' in the case, but not a suspect.
Still, that didn't stop him from claiming the local government was persecuting him for something he wasn't involved with, releasing cryptic messages on his website and then illegally entering Guatemala in a failed bid to seek asylum.
The country deported him in December, and he was sent back to the U.S., where he is a citizen. He's set roots in Portland, Ore., and said he's working on a graphic novel with illustrator Chad Essley.
Essley is credited as the director and writer of McAfee's latest video.

But the drama hasn't completely died down for the software tycoon.
In May, his Belizean compound was burned to the ground in a manner he calls 'suspicious.'
Belizean authorities, meanwhile, have said they don't plan to have McAfee extradited.
He told USA Today last month that U.S. officials haven't questioned him in the murder case since his return. And despite his outlandish behavior, he denies using drugs.
'I am not a mad man,' he said. 'I am eccentric, gracious, attentive, kind, humorous. We humans are funny creatures.'
