Given that false positives are a lot worse than false negatives and that its a lot more fiddly to set up and use than the built in spam detector in Entourage (and slower in action) I still cant recommend it.

Intego Internet Security Reviews Mac Land About

There is a vigorous debate in Mac Land about whether Macs actually need virus checkers at a all, I think that even if Macs dont directly get viruses its worth knowing if files you pass on or receive contain viruses.

Virus barrier is a decent package which Ive owned since 2005, it works quickly through the drive and alerts you quickly if theres a problem and gives you sensible options thereafter.

I have to say I dont think Ive seen a virus since 2000 on my Mac, but I think this time will be coming to an end soon.

The only downside is that you must exclude any backup partitions from the scan and I have had one instance where virus barrier fought with my excellent backup software (SuperDuper) which Im pretty sure was VBs fault.

Support were poor on this occasion although they have been excellent before this.

NetBarrier is a good product with some simple canned set-ups and a useful alerting service.

Ive had no problems with it, and its useful to have a software firewall for my laptop, when you leave the safety of your hardware firewall behind.

I found the anti-spam engine to be pretty much useless, in version 4 it didnt catch image spam, was a pain to set up and soon I went back to Entourages built in spam detector which seemed to work much better.

Note that Intego charge you separately for all product updates - you need to pay approx 20 EACH for one year for NetBarrier Virus barrier and the AntiSpam products.

Also youll get charged at French sales tax levels if you buy online.

This seems excessive to me, and I only ever renew the AV license.

Im not sure what the use of the NetBarrier updates is and Intego have never convinced me its worth it.

Its time they wrapped the updates together and charged a LOT less.

Incidentally, dont be afraid to haggle with support or sales if you update and they cut off your free 1 years updates or if you want to upgrade or install on more than one machine.

The only other thing to note is that Leopard has a decent firewall built in (although hard to configure) and there are free AV tools out there (ClamXav and iAntiVirus), so youll need to decide yourself.

My take is that commercial updates for the virus checker is worth it.

Overall a B. UPDATE Im retesting the Anti-virus test as I got a free copy from Amazon.

I disabled all the spam filtering at both my ISPs and Im getting a high level of spam to test it on and I have to say it is catching all the spam I throw at it.

Its a bit gung-ho, however, and it has marked a mail from Amazon as spam and one from an airline booking - these dont strike me as marginal cases.
