Mac OS X, Virus & Intego

December 8th, 2008

There’s some discussions about Mac OS X and the need (or not) of any antivirus.

There has been an old support message from Apple that has been removed, the position of the company is that “Mac OS X is secure and doesn’t need an Antivirus”. Intego reacted on it’s blog to communicate about the need to install an antivirus (prefereably their) on Mac OS X.

For myself, I think an antivirus is not useful for many reasons, and my experience with VirusBarrier X3 & NetBarrier X3 from Intego was catastrophic, from start where there wasn’t any activation key on the retail package (and needed :-( ), to the end one week later when I uninstall it to retrieve some kind of stability and usability of my Mac.

From this time, I don’t want to put Intego’s software into my Macs, all is just fine :-)
