I bought this program as part of a bundle from Intego. They claimed it was compatible with Snow Leopard. It is NOT. It slowed my System operations by 500% and often forced applications either to hang (beach ball spinning) or crash. If you choose the "constant protection" option, it examines every application, web link, and e-mail very slowly before letting the process run. That is redundant and unintelligent protection. When I complained and asked for my money back, the company refused. As far as I'm concerned, the offer is a scam and the software worthless. And it's NOT compatible with Snow Leopard, despite their claim that it is. Be warned!!

Also I have been using Intego's VirusBarrier for several years.
For some days ago I uninstalled the software.
Miraculous what a fast Mac I suddenly have.
For the coming time I will rely on Leopard Cache Cleaner's Virus Scanner.
VirusBarrier? No thanks.

All I can say is that my performance and system slowdowns miraculously went away when I uninstalled this product. I know it gets great reviews, but everytime my system would come to a screeching halt, I would see a great many threads running VirusBarrier services.

My Mac is screaming fast again after removing this product. That's all I know.
