Here are three more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Intego software is easy to install, easy to set up, and easy to use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Intego software is designed so Mac users can be securely protected from the dangers of the Internet. Our programs are all easy to install, set up, and use. They feature innovative, user-friendly interfaces. Many Intego programs feature assistants to walk users through the setup process, and a number of basic configurations let them easily decide how to best protect their Mac. All Intego programs also include full, detailed documentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Our software designed for both novices and experts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of Intego&#8217;s programs are designed so computer novices can use and understand them, but many of them feature multiple levels of usage so experts will find the features they need to fine-tune protection. For example, VirusBarrier scans all files as they are read, written or saved, but has advanced features such as scheduled scans and a quarantine zone for power users. NetBarrier offers basic firewall settings that most users will find sufficient, but network administrators can create detailed firewall rules for the most demanding situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. We provide one-stop support and updates for all Intego software<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Intego inhabits a full Mac ecosystem, and Intego&#8217;s support teams know Macs perfectly. When trying to obtain support from multi-platform vendors, getting a hold of a Mac technician can mean long waits. All of Intego&#8217;s technicians are Mac specialists. Intego software also provides a unified update tool, NetUpdate, which checks for updates to programs, virus definitions, and filters, and downloads and installs them easily. In the enterprise, administrators can even set up one machine to download the updates and other Macs can check a local folder for packages to be installed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need more reasons to choose Intego to protect your Mac against malware other than the three we already wrote about?
