About the Intego programs included in Intego Security Barrier X5:

NetBarrier X5 is the acclaimed personal firewall, Antivandal, Internet filter and network monitoring tool for Macintosh that is fully compatible with Mac OS X Leopard, and runs on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macintosh computers. NetBarrier X5 incorporates a wide range of new features and enhancements and a user-friendly, ergonomic interface suited to both beginners and experts alike. As Macworld magazine has said, “Intego's NetBarrier is the best personal firewall on the market.”

VirusBarrier X5 is the acclaimed antivirus for Mac that is simple, fast and non-intrusive. VirusBarrier X5 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. If the program finds any viruses, it can repair the files immediately, display an alert, or put the files into a quarantine zone. Users can run scans either automatically or manually, using VirusBarrier X5’s on-demand scanner to check any files, folders or volumes at any time.

Personal Antispam X5 is an intelligent program for fighting spam and phishing e-mails. Personal Antispam X5 learns from the e-mail users receive, and regular monthly updates to the program help keep their inboxes as spam-free as possible. Personal Antispam X5 also protects against phishing and viruses, by detecting attachments that may contain viruses, and by spotting specific words, URLs and layouts that signal phishing messages.

Personal Backup X5 is the versatile backup program for Mac, offering backups, bootable backups and synchronizations. Personal Backup X5 protects Mac users from disasters by backing up files regularly. Users can create custom scripts to meet their precise needs, and Personal Backup X5 ensures that backup copies of their files are always available. The program’s automated scripts ensure that users always have up-to-date backups.
