Introducing Intego’s X8 Mac Antivirus and Security Products
Posted on by Derek Erwin
Intego is proud to be the longest running Mac antivirus firm dedicated to protecting Apple products. We build our award-winning software from the ground up for Mac OS X—and we’ve been doing it that way since we started in 1997. While our products do a superb job protecting our customers and keeping their Macs clean, secure and private, things can always be improved. After a lot of hard work and dedication from our fantastic team, we’re very excited to reveal our new Mac antivirus and security product line!
With Intego’s X8 Mac antivirus and security products you will protect your digital world with the most advanced technology available. Our award-winning VirusBarrier X8 was recently rated #1 in two independent malware detection tests, with a 99% Mac malware detection rate by independent testing lab The Safe Mac, and a 100% detection rate by independent testing lab Security Spread—the first-ever product to ever achieve a perfect score in their tests.
Alongside an all-new interface, VirusBarrier X8 has a new low-priority scanning mode for enhanced performance while NetBarrier X8 has enhanced rule functionality for easier configuration and new firewall/application monitoring.
Finally, we approached our X8 product line with the goal of providing worry-free protection, an intuitive interface, and easy setup and configuration. All of our products are designed to be incredibly effective, straightforward and unobtrusive — exactly how you would expect software on a Mac to operate.
Our products are built exclusively for Mac and are outlined below:
