Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)!

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

As far as I am concerned Intego stinks. Worthless products at over-inflated prices. I bought Intego Virus Barrier - great "Gucci" interface! - when first upgrading from OS9 to OSX. Macs prior to OSX did get viruses, that's why I bought it. One year later, without a single OSX virus being intercepted, I declined the (expensive) offer to renew the subscription for virus updates. Many years later, still no Mac OSX viruses other than proof of concept that Apple squashed pretty damned quickly! Then I went (FOOL!) for Net Barrier. Even more "Gucci" interfaces. The product did absoluteley nothing that OSX does not already handle with its own Firewall. All I had to do was enable Firewall in System Prefs. Dohh! Once bitten twice shy. Twice bitten, and Intego can stick this application where the sun does not shine. I will stick with File Synchronization. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16975

Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)! - gslusher

I had the same experience, only worse: the Intego firewall app actually caused problems with my Mac--I had to uninstall it, as it was nearly impossible to completely turn it off.
