Intego VirusBarrier X5 10.5.8

Intego VirusBarrier X5 10.5.8 is an effective utility which is simple, fast and non-intrusive and protects Macs from viruses by examining all the files that are read or written, as well as watching for suspicious activity that may be the sign of viruses acting on applications or other files.

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.

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.

• 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.
