Other features of the VirusBarrier:

An innovative interface

VirusBarrier X6’s overview screen displays information about how the program is running and provides real-time feedback on its activities. It includes buttons and indicators that provide access to all of the program's main functions. Users can launch scans, monitor network throughput, and change settings for VirusBarrier X6’s many features.

The best program to stop Mac and Windows malware

VirusBarrier X6 is the best antivirus for Mac. With Intego’s Virus Monitoring Center keeping watch for Mac malware, users are protected from all known threats. When VirusBarrier X6 spots malware, the program blocks the infected files, and can repair or quarantine them so Mac users are safe.

A powerful personal firewall

VirusBarrier X6 is not limited to merely protecting Mac users from malware. Its powerful personal firewall, together with its Antivandal, provide thorough protection from all types of intrusions and web threats. VirusBarrier X6 stops hackers before they can infiltrate Macs.

Anti-spyware protection

Prevent software from connecting surreptitiously to remote servers, and stop applications from “phoning home”. Users can choose which applications they want to allow to connect to the Internet, and block all others to ensure their privacy.

Full suite of monitoring tools

VirusBarrier X6 has network traffic gauges, full logs of malware and network activity, tools to show which networks and services are active, and quick access to network query tools. VirusBarrier X6 provides administrators with the tools they need to monitor all network activity.
