Intego Internet Security X9

Thoughtful design with nearly everything you could want

Intego Internet Security X9 is a well-designed, Mac– first security package providing antivirus protection and a firewall.

If you’re looking for security offering the right blend of protection, features, and a focus on your Mac, then it’s hard to look beyond Intego, with its effective core protection. Where it does fall down is with a lack of support for non-Apple devices.

If you need to cover your whole household, then Bitdefender remains a compelling alternative thanks to its continued performance at the top of the security charts. Securing your Mac can be a jargonistic, unfriendly business, which is where Clario may appeal. Its beginner-friendly approach ensures you gain some understanding of what threatens you and how to protect yourself against it. Sadly, you’ll pay a hefty premium for the privilege.

If the prices are too steep, try installing the free version of AVG Antivirus. Its paid-for big brother may be overpriced, but the free version will provide an essential layer of extra security that will help protect your Mac.
