Answer 1

McAfee nos guardará seguro del internet, pero ¿quien va a guardarnos seguro de McAfee?

McAfee will keep us safe from the internet, but who is going keep us safe from McAfee?

(This was a wild guess, so correct me if I am wrong.)

Answer 2

How is this related to learning Spanish?

Especially since English is the official language of Belize, formerly British Honduras. - gringojrf, Nov 13, 2012

Vocabulary building, my friend. It's a general discussion on current news. - francobollo, Nov 13, 2012

Answer 3

Resulta irónico que el inventor de una tecnología de seguridad cibernética se vea involucrado en un lío policial donde las autoridades estén tratando de localizarlo. Supongo que si es culpable, su víctima no tuvo resguardo (ni cibernético ni de ningún tipo).

It's ironic to me how the pioneer of an Internet security technology is the suspect of a police investigation, where authorities are trying to locate him. In the event he were to be found guilty of this crime, it's worth pointing out that his victim could not afford security or safety (on the Internet or otherwise).

Palabras interesantes a recordar: irónico, involucrado, lío, resguardo, cibernético.

I believe it should be "In the event he IS found guilty...." or "In the event he WERE TO BE found guilty...", but I can't tell you why off the top of my head. - PeterRS, Nov 13, 2012

Absolutely. Thanks for the correction. - francobollo, Nov 13, 2012

Peter, "is the suspect" sets the timing as being present tense is the reason why. - bandit51jd, Nov 13, 2012
