Broadcom could reach an agreement to buy the Mountain View, California-based company within weeks, said the people. No deal has been finalized and the talks could fall through, the people said.

Representative for Symantec and Broadcom declined to comment.

In 2011, Intel Corp. acquired McAfee Inc. for $7.7 billion. Intel’s plan was to hard-wire some of the software’s capabilities into its personal-computer processors. The semiconductor maker was never able to pull that off, and ended up spinning off the unit in 2016 in a sale to TPG that valued the business at $4.2 billion.
