VirusBarrier has a stylized black edging to its white background and large colorful buttons NetUpdate is a simple list and NetBarrier includes a nifty moving graphic that depicts your Firewall’s actions. They work mostly in the background, detecting and blocking malware and malicious Web links.Įach app has a slightly different interface. The package is essentially a bundle consisting of three OS X applications: NetBarrier, NetUpdate and VirusBarrier. Intego Mac Internet Security X8 runs only on Mac OS X 10.7 or later. We went to the company's download page and, from the dropdown menu, selected 'Mac Internet Security X8.' (There were several options, so users should make sure they're getting what they want.) Once installed, I entered the product code and email address and was good to go. Setup and interfaceĭownloading Intego Mac Internet Security X8 was simple. Still, it makes our list of the best Mac antivirus software. Overall, Intego Mac Internet Security X8 is a strong and robust program, but it's a little pricey compared to the competition. We found that of five Mac antivirus products we tested, Intego's suite had the lightest performance impact.

However, it lacks a Web-link scanner for sussing out malicious links as you browse the Web. Intego Mac Internet Security X8 integrates very well with OS X, and has some great extra features, such as different user profiles for different kinds of Internet connections. So you want to protect your Mac from malware?
