Austin, TX, January 9, 2007 - Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, today released two security packs from its new Dual Protection (DP) line to help Mac users protect both Mac OS X and their Windows installation. Intego's Dual Protection product line features Intego's award-winning software together with BitDefender's top-rated programs to provide Mac users with protection for both operating systems.

Since Mac users can run Windows on a Mac with today's Intel-based Macs, they are vulnerable to a whole new range of security threats: viruses, spyware, adware and hackers are all waiting to compromise their Windows installation. When Windows is run in Apple's Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop or VMWare's Fusion, it requires  Windows-specific protection. Intego's Dual Protection product line provides security for both Mac OS X and Windows, ensuring that Mac users running Windows will have total protection for both operating systems.

Intego has joined forces with BitDefender to offer two powerful Intego DP products:

• Intego VirusBarrier X4 DP protects both Mac OS X and Windows from all known viruses.
• Intego Internet Security Barrier X4 Antispam Edition DP keeps Mac OS X and Windows safe from hackers, vandals, spyware, spam and phishing.

BitDefender is a leading global provider of security solutions that satisfy the protection requirements of today's computing environment. BitDefender Antivirus was voted "Best Buy" by PC World in 2006. The company offers one of the industry's fastest and most effective lines of security software, setting new standards for threat prevention, timely detection and mitigation. BitDefender delivers products and services to over 41 million home and corporate users in more than 100 countries.

"Mac users are excited about running Windows, and today's Macs make this easy," said Laurent Marteau, CEO of Intego. "Our objective is to meet their needs with the first multi-platform security software packs that protect both Mac OS X and Windows, at an affordable price. Intego offers Dual Protection for only $10 more than Mac-only protection."

Intego is presenting its new Dual Protection product line at booth S2338 of the Macworld Conference and Expo from January 9 to 12, 2007, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
