Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The three components I attempted to use were the Spam Barrier, Personal Backup, and of course Virus Barrier.
Spam Barrier overrides OS X Mail's perfectly good "Junk" mail filtering with its own overly aggressive system that is set to block almost everything (including Amazon and NewEgg e-mail order acknowledgements), while interfering with your mail providers' "Spam" mail folders.
Personal Backup, when set to full "clone" mode, sometimes backups the Mac's hard drive and sometimes doesn't. When it does, it may or may not back up the whole drive. This may depend on the phase of the Moon; I haven't tested that yet.
The Virus Barrier is the worst offender. Its obtuse, non-intuitive, overly layered setup is outweighed only by its ridiculously aggressive scanning and network traffic monitoring. Don't expect innocuous items like thumb drives, disk image (DMG) files, or iTunes Store access to work without a lot of manual intervention - in fact, you have to create so many exceptions to the "rules," that it obviates the need for this virus checker in the first place.
As a final PC-like indignity, attempting to uninstall this Intego product is a chore, given its Windows-like littering all across your HD with Intego preferences, documents, and the like.
This is going back, and I'll try the free ClamXAV a try. It can't be any worse!
