Intego VirusBarrier X5

Protects your Mac from all known Mac viruses and malware

You know very well that your Mac contains important information and files. If you use it for your work, you are aware how much time and money it would cost if you were to lose these files. Even if you just use your computer at home, you certainly have files you would hate to lose. On top of that, if a virus were to erase all of your files, even if you did not lose anything important, you would have to spend a great deal of time reinstalling your system and all of your programs.

The virus threat is real. More and more viruses are being discovered every day. While the Macintosh is relatively privileged, compared to Windows, there is still the danger of existing viruses or new viruses spreading to your Mac and damaging your files.

Intego VirusBarrier X5 is the simple, fast and non-intrusive antivirus solution for Macintosh computers. It offers thorough protection against viruses and malware of all types, coming from infected files or applications, whether on CD-ROMs, DVDs or other removable media, or in files downloaded over the Internet or other types of networks.

VirusBarrier X5 protects your Mac from viruses by constantly examining all the files that your computer reads and writes, as well as watching for suspicious activity that may be the sign of viruses acting on applications or other files. With VirusBarrier X5 on your computer, you can rest assured that your Macintosh has the best protection available against viruses of all kinds.

VirusBarrier X5 works in the background and checks everything that your Mac does, looking for viruses. It knows the unique signatures of all known Macintosh viruses, and whenever a new virus is discovered, Intego’s Virus Monitoring Center goes into action to provide updated virus definitions, which you can download using Intego NetUpdate.

When you purchase VirusBarrier X5, you have access to virus definition updates for one year from the date of installation. After this time, additional subscriptions, allowing you to extend your access to virus definition updates, are available from Intego, and can be purchased by using NetUpdate.

VirusBarrier X5 was designed according to specific concepts. The main idea is that an antivirus program should not require the user to do anything once it is installed and configured, unless a virus is detected. The VirusBarrier X5 philosophy can be summed up in three words: simple, fast and non-intrusive.

• Simple
  VirusBarrier X5 is the easiest to use antivirus program for Macintosh. After you install it, it works in the background, keeping a close eye on your Mac, and verifies your files silently.
  
• Fast
  VirusBarrier X5 is fast and efficient. It does not slow down your Mac, and you can work normally while it’s active. Each time a file is created, opened or saved, VirusBarrier X5 checks the file to make sure it is safe.
  
• Non-intrusive
  VirusBarrier X5 is non-intrusive. It will not constantly ask you about “suspicious” activity, each time you want to install a program, nor will it generate endless false alarms. Once you have installed it, you probably won’t notice it’s there, unless it detects a virus and alerts you. In addition, you do not need to deactivate VirusBarrier X5 when installing new software, regardless of what the program’s installer or manual may say. VirusBarrier X5 can run all the time, in the background, protecting your Mac without you needing to worry about it.
