When you run anti-virus protection on your Mac you need a speedy, effective service that works in the background while you continue to work or surf. Intego does not feature in the latest AV-Comparatives test for June 2020. In the AV-Test taking place between February and March 2020, Intego VirusBarrier detected 100 percent of malware infections on-demand. The one gap in Intego's offering is the lack of a web scanner alerting you to websites that steal your details. Intego scans for viruses in popular email applications. Applications are also analyzed to check if they have malware characteristics. This is reliable, robust protection for your machine that works 24/7 – both on-access and on-demand scans help keep spyware, worms, scareware, and viruses at bay. VirusBarrier scans for the latest threats and also detects Windows malware.
Intego Mac Internet Security X9 is made up of two parts – the VirusBarrier scanner and the NetBarrier firewall. The company now has a head office in Seattle and a European branch in Paris, and offers a premium Mac protection product. With this you get a definite focus on Mac-owners’ needs. Not Intego – this company focuses entirely on Mac security and built its brand serving Macs since its founding in France in 1997. Most Mac anti-virus solutions are offered as an add-on to a company’s PC specialism.
