Intego’s Internet Security Barrier X5 is a comprehensive security suite for Macs. In my opinion it delivers on almost all counts. It is comprised of three unique security programs, each have some of the most visually and aesthetically pleasing interfaces of any security software program I’ve used.

• VirusBarrier X5, provides a virus scanner that looks like a car dashboard, protects your files and eradicates all known Mac viruses.
• NetBarrier X5’s interface incorporates a fire-prevention motif, complete with fire extinguisher icons to put out Internet attacks from hackers, vandals, spyware, etc..
• Lastly, Personal Antispam X5 filters your email programs, sorting spam into its own folder so you can keep your inbox spam-free.

It’s easy to configure different filters for your inbox, including attachment and URL filters. In fact, all of these tools were a cinch to use, and running scans in the background didn’t noticeably slow down my system. You can also automatically update each of the programs to ensure protection from the newest threats.
