I have used it for years on several macs. It works perfectly well in background. I have never noticed any slow down. The updates are easy and fast. It helped me find viruses in Word documents I received from the Windows world.

I installed VirusBarrier X5 about 2 months ago on a Dual G5 2.0 running 10.4.11 with 5GB of RAM. I shoot a lot of pictures and I have used a very speedy SanDisk Extreme USB 2.0 CF reader for 2 years that had transfer rates of up to 20mb/sec. However for the past few weeks it had become extremely slow (0.2mb/sec) and "froze" for extended periods of time. Today I disabled the "Real Time Scanner" and immediately my transfer speeds returned to normal. This is an obvious problem that needs to be resolved by the Intego folks.

Customer Service? I don't think so. - Version: 10.5.6, 1/11/2009 08:47AM PST

I once had problems upgrading one of Intego's products. This problem couldn't be resolved by email so I called them. The person at Intego I talked to was immediately abusive and used language that couldn't be used in this forum. I ended up having to hang up on him not only without being able to resolve my problem but without even being able to discuss the problem. I will never purchase another product from Intego. I have removed all Intego applications from my personal and business computers. I do not recommend this company's products to anyone.
