Version: Intego VirusBarrier X4 10.4.3
"it has been long time since i was surprised this much!!!"
Pros: terrific!!!! wow!! absolutely great product. i have used norton up till now and i used to swear by it. but the other day I was lucky enough to buy my first mac so I read some reviews. symantec itself suggested not to use their av and all reviewers were pointing at this software i thought i d give it a shot. so glad i did. such a beautiful interface with absolute ease of use. drag & scan, never imagined life would be that easy!! and speed, this software is fast very very fast w/o sacrificing quality. i connected my usb drive which i have scanned about zillion times with my norton but intego found 3 viruses on it. get this software!! absolutely great!
Cons: your friends will be jelaous thats all :)

I had no problems installing it, it's really easy, the inferface is very simple to understand, it erased 3 viruses on my computer and updates are very easy thanks to NetUpdate.
Cons: too expensive

Version: Intego VirusBarrier X4 10.4.3
"Quick, Fast, Easy to Use, and Unobtrusive!"
Pros: I recently purchased an iMac (24" version Intel Duo Core), and although I knew there were few viruses out there for Mac, I still felt I needed an anti-virus program. I had used MacAfee and Symantec in the past, but I heard that their versions for Mac were cumbersome and substandard and I heard nothing about good things about Virus Barrier.
I jumped in head first and not only bought the virus barrier, but the firewall and anti-spam as well (They come bundled if you visit Intego's website). All three products work in perfect harmony together. As for the virus barrier, it runs quietly in the background taking up absolutely no resources, same with the other two products I mentioned.
The best part of the program is that it remembers the files you have on the PC, and andy changes/upgrades/additions/deletions. This way, a virus scan takes about 10 minutes because it already knows your system, unlike Symantec and Macafee which have to "relearn" everything each time you scan.
So far, it has only discovered two corrupt files, and "erradicated" them for me (that's the term used by the lovely female computer voice in the program).
If you want a program that's quick and efficient as well as effective, this is the one to get. You can do a straight download from the site, or for an additional $9.99, you can have the download and a CD-ROM sent to you as well.
Highly recommended!
Cons: Absolutely none.

Version: Intego VirusBarrier X4 10.4.3
"Free trial version is no help - can scan but not repair"
Pros: Interface looks nice - very Mac like.
Cons: Wanted to see how good it worked before purchasing, b/c it is very expensive, but the trial version does not repair it only scans in trial version. You lost a future customer.
