VirusBarrier X9: My main interest in Intego Internet Security X9 is for VirusBarrier to replace Webroot. VirusBarrier X9 offers solid performance and optimization on the Mac. Scans are fast, and I can easily use VirusBarrier without my Mac slowing down or with overall performance or compatibility issues, even on macOS Catalina (Intego has also stated that all of their apps will be fully optimized for macOS Big Sur). The user interface in VirusBarrier is also the most Mac-friendly user interface I’ve seen yet. Intego mac internet security x9 imac full#VirusBarrier offers a combination of on-demand (quick or full), scheduled, and real-time scans (I have VirusBarrier set to run a full scheduled scan once a week, a quick scan after every update, and I have real-time scanning enabled, plus to scan mounted external drives). Intego mac internet security x9 imac update#UPDATEĭefinitions updates through NetUpdate are easy to update manually or automatically on a user-defined schedule. One can mark certain files as “trusted files” to exclude those from scans if need be. VirusBarrier now also offers protection for Windows PCs, plus it can scan iOS and iPadOS devices plugged into a Mac (although such a feature isn’t widely used). Virus protection seems solid for protecting against Mac malware according to the virus labs. VirusBarrier didn’t offer solid Windows virus protection in the past (which was one drawback from the app), but it does now (although we need to see some additional results from virus labs on testing). VirusBarrier support informed me that it does protect against ransomware. The only two issues some have with VirusBarrier is by default, it asks the user what to do when it encounters a virus instead of automatically putting it into the quarantine (although that is useful in the event of a false positive, the feature can be changed to automatically put flagged viruses in the quarantine). PLUSĪdditionally, its “Safe Browsing” feature is limited to checking to see if the major browsers have their safe browsing features enabled, whereas some other major antivirus vendors (including Webroot) offer their own safe browser extensions (although I found the experience hit and miss with Webroot’s extensions not supporting all of the browsers I use, so I didn’t get to fully use the feature anyway).
