I’ve always been asked this question, “Is it true that Macs never get infected by viruses?” Honestly, I’ve always responded with a resounding, “Yes*”

Oh, noticed the asterisk, did you? Actually, if you work in a mixed environment with Windows and Macs, chances are, you will come across some malware: scareware, keyloggers, spyware, the works. Macs may or may not be exploited by these malware but it’s always a good choice to stop them in their tracks.

Intego’s VirusBarrier X6 is a great tool to help monitor your system and prevent such infections. We have 10 licenses worth £480 to give away. Each copy offers coverage on up to 2 Macs for the duration of 1 year.

It’s relatively lightweight and does about everything you would expect an anti-virus software do: real-time scanning, on demand scans, file quarantine, repairs infected files, blocks virus execution, scan compressed files and archives, ands automatic scans of mounted volumes.

Network Monitoring tools help to monitor bandwidth (mis)use by certain applications.

Personal Firewall features allow you to carefully examine all established connections, ports and protocols.
