All Macs connected to the Internet (DSL, cable modem, etc.) are exposed to hackers, vandals and other security risks. Experts estimate that between 85% and 97% of intrusions are never detected.

Intego NetBarrier X4 is the Internet security solution for Macintosh computers running Mac OS X. It offers thorough protection against intrusions coming across the Internet or a local network.

Intego NetBarrier X4 protects your computer from intrusions by constantly filtering all the activity that enters and leaves through the Internet or a network. Intego NetBarrier X4 protects you from thieves, hackers and intruders, and warns you automatically if any suspicious activity occurs.

Intego VirusBarrier X4 is the simple, fast and non-intrusive antivirus security solution for Macintosh computers, by Intego, the leading publisher of personal security software for Macintosh. It offers thorough protection against viruses of all types, coming from infected files or applications, whether on CD-ROMs, DVDs or other removable media, or on files downloaded over the Internet or other types of networks.

Intego VirusBarrier X4 protects your computer from viruses by constantly examining all the files that your computer opens and writes, as well as watching for suspicious activity that may be the sign of viruses acting on applications or other files. With Intego VirusBarrier X4 on your computer, you can rest assured that your Macintosh has the best protection available against viruses of all kinds.

Intego VirusBarrier X4 is an application that works in the background and checks everything that your computer does, looking for viruses. It detects and eradicates all known viruses, including Word and Excel macro viruses, and even viruses targeting the Windows operating system. It knows the unique signatures of all known Macintosh viruses, and whenever a new virus is discovered, Intego's Virus Monitoring Center goes into action to provide updated virus definitions, which you can download using Intego VirusBarrier X4's automatic NetUpdate function.

When you purchase a license for Intego VirusBarrier X4, you have access to virus definition updates for one year from the date of purchase. After this time, additional subscriptions, allowing you to extend your access to virus definition updates, are available from Intego, and can be purchased by using NetUpdate.

Intego VirusBarrier X4 was designed according to specific concepts. The main idea is that an antivirus program should not require the user to do anything once it is installed and configured, unless a virus is detected. The Intego VirusBarrier X4 philosophy can be summed up in three words: simple, fast and non-intrusive.

You don't let your kids read just anything, do you? Well, when they surf the Internet, they can see whatever they want, unless you're there to watch over their shoulders.

ContentBarrier sets up a protective wall around your computer. Its predefined categories let you choose what you don't want your children to see, and you can also create your own custom categories.
ContentBarrier blocks adult web sites, sites with subjects not fit for children, and even blocks chats when predatory language is used. It blocks offensive content coming from the Internet.
ContentBarrier works with multiple users; if you have several children, you can set different criteria, corresponding to their age or maturity.
You can choose whether they have access to newsgroups or whether they can download files. You can set the program to let them only use the Internet at certain times, and on specific days.The program can even send you e-mail, automatically, when certain events occur.
ContentBarrier keeps a complete log of all web sites visited, whether blocked or not.

Intego ChatBarrier works in conjunction with Apple's iChat instant messaging software to provide two-way, real-time encryption of text chats. Intego ChatBarrier is easy to use, transparent, and inviolable, using military-grade 512-bit encryption that no one can break.


When Intego ChatBarrier is installed, a simple click of a button turns on its functions, and any text you send during a chat using iChat is encrypted. Only a user who also has Intego ChatBarrier installed, and to whom you send a message, will be able to decrypt it. Neither the sender nor the receiver has to do anything other than activate Intego ChatBarrier for encryption and decryption to occur.


Here's what Intego ChatBarrier X3 does for you:

- Encrypts outgoing iChat messages using military-grade 512-bit encryption.
- Decrypts incoming messages sent to you by another ChatBarrier user.
- Encrypts and decrypts messages on the fly and instantaneously.
- Only decrypts messages if the intended user receives them.
- Encrypted messages are indicated by a padlock background in the message window and a padlock icon at the bottom of the window.
- ChatBarrier encrypts and decrypts messages without any user intervention.
- A 30-day full-featured trial version of ChatBarrier is available.

Spam is the scourge of the Internet. Almost every Internet user receives spam: undesired e-mail messages selling products and services, messages suggesting that users visit certain web sites, often pornographic, and scams of all kinds. Some people get so much spam that they spend more time sorting their in-boxes than they do reading legitimate e-mail.

Intego Personal Antispam X3 is the ultimate tool to fight spam for Mac OS X. Intego Personal Antispam X3 analyzes your incoming e-mail, determining which messages are spam and which are valid messages, in many ways: by checking a whitelist of addresses, message content, message layout, URLs in messages, and much more.

Unlike the spam filters provided with e-mail programs such as Apple Mail or Microsoft Entourage, Intego Personal Antispam X3 is intelligent. When you first install Intego Personal Antispam X3, its performance is similar to the filters included with e-mail programs, but as you use it more and more, having the program learn from your spam and from your good e-mail, Intego Personal Antispam X3 outperforms any spam filter available.
