Product Description: Don't let viruses infect your Mac, get Intego VirusBarrier X5. You may think your Mac is safe from common Windows ailments that viruses cause, but there is still the danger of existing viruses or new viruses spreading to your Mac and damaging your files. VirusBarrier thoroughly protects against viruses and malware of all types, coming from infected files or applications, whether on CD-ROMs, DVDs or other removable media, or in files downloaded over the Internet or other types of networks. It constantly examines all the files that your computer reads and writes, as well as watches for suspicious activity that may be the sign of viruses acting on applications or other files. Whenever a new virus is discovered, Intego's Virus Monitoring Center goes into action to provide updated virus definitions, which you can download using Intego NetUpdate. You'll have access to virus definition updates for one year from the date of installation; after that you can buy additional subscriptions to extend your access to virus definition updates.

Always Works! Good software - always works (but I have never gotten a Virus on a Mac).
Virus Barrier This is a very fast product, and having it run in the background is a big plus.It is easier to set up and use than NAV. It does conflict with Time Capsule/Time Machine if you use it, but there is a very easy solution. Go to the Virus Barrier preferences, click on the Scanner icon, then put the "sparse barrier" file (from Time Machine) into your Trusted Zone and it will then run without conflicts.
