Intego Internet Security

Intego Internet Security is an excellent security application for Mac that provides effective protection against viruses and other online threats in real time or on demand. It can detect and delete just about any virus, as well as repair infected files. It has an innovative interface made up of several accelerometers that summarize all the application's activity.

There's a quarantine zone where infected files can be isolated. You can also indicate trusted folders that won't be analyzed. It can be programmed to scan at certain times and configured to automatically start whenever you connect a disc unit or the virus database is updated.

Intego Internet Security is compatible with the iPhone and the iPod Touch. It can also detect files infected by Windows viruses, process compromised files, and perform remote analysis from the command line.

As for notifications, you can choose the way that's most likely to catch your attention. You can choose between a voice, a dialog box, or an email. Speaking of which, Intego VirusBarrier X5 also scans incoming and outgoing emails for viruses, too.

- Heuristic analysis.
