Intego today released VirusBarrier Plus, a new Mac antivirus and anti-malware program. Sold exclusively through the Mac App Store, VirusBarrier Plus offers protection from both Mac and Windows malware, as well as other types of malware, malicious scripts, and more. And VirusBarrier Plus is available at a special launch price of only $7.99 for a two-week introductory period.
VirusBarrier Plus detects Mac and Windows malware, so Mac users are protected, and so they don’t pass on infected files to friends and colleagues using Windows or other operating systems. It also protects against PDF malware, Flash malware, Linux malware, keyloggers, hacker tools, and malicious scripts (PHP, Perl, Javascript, shell scripts and more).
