  Intego NetBarrier X5

  Great app !

  Pros: I use NetBarrier as a part of my Internet Security Barrier.

  This product beat all my expectations. The software firewall interface is the best I've seen on any platform.

  I have installed it on all the Macs on my network and have been very happy with the install and uninstall portions.

  The feature which lets you see which channel all wireless routers in range are set to is also WAY COOL.

  Cons: nothing

  Intego NetBarrier X5

  This is my FAVORITE PRODUCT from Intego for security.

  Pros: I'm certainly no security expert, but, I think this might be my favorite security application for the Mac. I feel so much safer! Setting up the right parameters to ensure the firewall is configured correctly is a no-brainer with the animations the provide in this package. I have 3 other Intego products and have to say that they're some of the most intuitive software I own. Thanks! You've taken the black magic out of Mac security.

  Cons: A bit pricey, but, I bought it as part of a suite, so, that helped. I still think it's worth it for the peace of mind.
