Existing users, 
Since purchasing Intego Virusbarrier x4 10.4 for Mac OS X less than a month ago, I stopped using the product. Initially, I was very impressed with iVirusBarrier X4's ease, speed, and non-obstrusiveness (conpared to Norton's freakesh over-control).
Nevertheless, after purchasing & loading VirusBarrier X4, I always had problems verifying disk permissions. Eventually, I had to archive and reninstall all my software, because of overall poor system performance, missing links, ad-nauseam. I recently learned that virusbarrier was indeed the culprit that ultimately lead to the tedious reinstall process.
Sarah at Intego Support responded: "basically the Disk Utility is resetting the permissions to the incorrect (vulnerable) state. At this time, and until Apple addresses this security issue, you should not run repair permissions on restart."
WRONG ANSWER: But thanks for blaming Apple for Intego's interface problem.
Meanwhile, since having to reinstall all software again, I skipped over virusbarrier, and I have been in "disk permission" heaven ever since. FYI: there are no refunds. Just throwaways!
Caveat Emptor!!!!!

Caveat Emptor! avoid Intego virusbarrier - NO!!!!!
Some thing is not right here - I would suggest there are other "issues" in play - I run over 100 seats of VBX4 on every model of Mac made in the last 6 years and I haven't seen this particular issue - Plenty of other issues that require VBX4 to be reinstalled now and then on the odd computer but not this one - VBX4 actually has improved a lot over the last 2 years - I have found nothing on OS X that comes near to it. - I would suggest 2 things - Install it on another computer to see if it dose the same thing - If not the issue is with the original computer - An Archive and install may be necessary.Thursday, September 27 2007 @ 10:19 AM PDT

Oh and reinstall VBX4 after the A&I and see if it still plays up. But test it on another computer first - Any thing will run it just about. - And no it shoudnt interrupt work flow unless you want it to. - It usually hums along in the back ground and you do forget its there just like it should be.Thursday, September 27 2007 @ 10:26 AM PDT
A loss for you - macmacperson
I have confidence in VB, as do others here. Frankly, if VB people had told me there was a temporary security problem with permissions via DiskUtility, I may be inclined to listen to them not to tell them it's the "wrong answer". Your failure to use VB is a loss for you, IMO. What did you install instead? Nothing?Monday, October 01 2007 @ 12:36 PM PDT

What sort of settings did you use? In particular, what permissions were the issue (where and the disagreement on settings) I have been running it for years without issue. In fact, I commonly forget I am running it.Reply to This
