Wife Janice McAfee later began posting from the account, saying John had been arrested and that she had been detained.
McAffee, 75, is known as the founder of McAfee Associates, which he ran between 1987 and 1994 before resigning from the company.
He later founded a number of other companies, and prior to the 2008 financial crash was worth an estimated £60million.
He has had numerous run-ins with the law in the past and claims not to have paid taxes since 2010.
In a tweet on Monday, McAfee said he had been stopped by authorities in Norway and wrote: "My Coronavirus mask is the problem.
"I am insisting it is the safest available and I'm refusing to wear anything else -- for my health's sake. Authority!?!?!?!?"
Pictures showed him with black underwear covering his mouth and nose and the straps hooked back over his ears.
He then posted a picture of himself laughing with a police officer and wrote that he would have to cancel an appearance that had been scheduled for that evening.
