Intego VirusBarrier X5 10.5.10 Available for Download

Intego has updated its flagship Mac app that protects your Mac from all known Mac viruses and malware, VirusBarrier X5. Version 10.5.10 is a maintenance update that adds enhanced compatibility with Snow Leopard.

“Since 1997, Intego has made a name for itself in the Internet security and privacy market for Apple Macintosh,” the company states. “With the most complete range of security software for Mac OS X, including antivirus, firewall, backup and parental control programs, Intego has proven its ability to innovate and develop products that outperform the others.”

Intego VirusBarrier X5 not only identifies viruses, but it can also eradicate them, according to the program’s description. The piece of software is said to prevent Macs from getting infected, and is touted as “the easiest to use antivirus program for Macintosh.”

Interested parties can download a 30-day free trial of the software, while the unregistered version allows files or volumes to be scanned for viruses, but doesn't provide the repair function (enabled only after purchase). VirusBarrier X5 calls for Mac OS X 10.4 or higher (Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard) and a 40 MB free hard-disk space.

Intego, the self-touted Macintosh security specialist, has also announced recently that its software is now fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. All of Intego’s software applications are available for immediate download using the links below.

“We’re very happy to see Snow Leopard released, and Mac users will be too,” Laurent Marteau, CEO, Intego, says. “We have updated our software to make sure that, as soon as Snow Leopard is released, our users will be able to protect their Macs and remain safe from the dangers of the Internet. As always, our software is compatible with the latest version of Mac OS X on the day of its release.”
