I've used Intego products since they first introduced NetBarrier years ago. When I saw a recent press release saying NetBarrier, VirusBarrier and Personal Backup -- knowing I was about to buy an Intel Mac -- I ordered the Platinum Edition. I should have read that more carefully: the other products are not yet Intel-ready.

From my briefest of glimpses of all the products working in concert on my old G4, I'd say this is a 4-star product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mac Internet Security, May 14, 2006

This review is from: Internet Security Barrier Platinum Edition X Su (Mac) (CD-ROM)

I'm amazed at the lack of security software available on the market today for the new Mac computers. Who are these people? I don't want 2005 software for my G5 that was built in 2006. Why do the PC's get all the attention? The G5 Quad which cost quite a bit of money deserves some attention from the big guns of the industry like Symantec, Trend Micro and McAfee. The new Macs use Unix which opens them to attack. If you search hard enough, you'll find something like Sophos which is very expensive. I happen to own a G5 Mac with Tiger on it. It has quad processors, 8 gigs of ram and two 500GB SATA drives installed. I certainly want to protect my investment. Why isn't there more software being worked on for these expensive machines? I will never run a Mac that can run Windows on it. Doing so is very dangerous and opens the owner to all of the grief that PC owners now have. Another good suggestion is to keep anything Microsoft off of your Mac. I just wish I could find some reliable software out there that would protect my investment.
