Intego VirusBarrier - Antivirus software for Mac

Intego VirusBarrier X6 is a simple and fast antivirus software for Mac. It supports protection for all files and applications whether they are on hard drives, CDs, DVDs or other storage devices.

Intego VirusBarrier provides real-time protection by continually checking all open and recorded computer files, as well as monitoring suspicious activity that may indicate virus infection of files or applications. This makes VirusBarrier the ideal software to detect viruses from Word and Excel files or even a virus that attacks Windows if you are running it from a virtual machine.

The Virus Monitoring Center of Intego provides updated virus definitions via the NetUpdate function. However, VirusBarrier seems to be a tool that Mac users both hate and like. Some people report that this app does work efficiently and discreetly while others find it just annoying.

Advantages:

• Neat interface
• Very easy to use
• Provides protection in real time

Defect:

• Sometimes locking the system
• Might notice wrong.
