Virusbarrier Scanner Review



A reliable and user-friendly antivirus specially designed to help you protect your Mac against network attacks, malware and hackers

VirusBarrier is touted as an on-demand malware scanning app for the iPad and iPhone. Because of the way iOS is locked down, it cannot do automatic scanning of files – but it can be used to scan files that you receive as email attachments, ‘other files you have access to on your device’, and files stored in remote locations like MobileMe. Both malware scanning and safe browsing features helped VirusBarrier to achieve consistently high scores in Mac security. When it comes to performance, Intego’s VirusBarrier software achieves high scores again. Fluctuating between a 5.5 and 6.0 in the latest five tests (the maximum is 6).
