Intego’s CEO Jeff Erwin and I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Gene Steinberg for the Tech Night Owl<\/a> the other day to discuss Mac malware and our new 2013 product line<\/a>. If you missed the live version, you can still download the file from the archive<\/a>. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Gene’s show, you should definitely check it out, as he’s a tech savvy guy who does a lot of interviews with interesting people within the computing industry.<\/p>\n In the course of our 20 minutes of radio-fame, we covered a variety of subjects you might expect us to opine about. Our first point of discussion was the myth that Macs don’t get malware – Java has been a particular problem lately<\/a> as it makes cross-platform development easier not just for legitimate developers but malicious ones as well. Apple’s developers recently got an object lesson in this problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n After we discussed the malware landscape, it was time for some product discussion. We do have an iOS product called VirusBarrier iOS<\/a>, and it scans not just iOS files but any files that you access via iOS (through Dropbox, email, etc.) so you won’t be a Typhoid Mary sending viruses to your friends. Identity Scrubber<\/a> (available for English-speaking users via Mac Internet Security Premium<\/a> or our Mac Premium Bundle<\/a>) is one of our newest additions. It’s a very cool product that finds sensitive data on your machine so you can lock it or remove it. Family Protector<\/a> is a good way to protect your kids on the Internet – you wouldn’t push your kid on a tricycle onto the freeway, nor should you leave them on the information superhighway unprotected. Our products have been Mac-focused for many years, which means they’re optimized specifically for Macs. The newest version of VirusBarrier<\/a> in particular has been streamlined so that it scan much more quickly, and NetBarrier<\/a> is more user-friendly and intuitive.<\/p>\n Many thanks to Gene for inviting us to appear on his show.
