They update the software frequently (the virus definitions constantly, which is good), and they also have very nice thorough documentation and user guides you can easily find on their website. And I would also encourage you wholeheartedly to take a look at their range of offerings if you are in the market for security products. O happy day ! And if you are unfamiliar with Intego products, one thing I really like about them is that they allow YOU to configure their interaction with your system (read “allows you to keep it out of your way, but use it when you need it”). But then one day, I come across this product, and frankly couldn’t believe it: you get the same full-hardcore industrial strength scan ’n quarantine functionality, just without a price tag.

Getting the full suite (or I should say the revenue-driven rental model that I loathe) can be a bit expensive if on a strained budget, even if you can manage to catch one of the promos they run every so often (and I encourage you to watch for them, as they are really on sale). Love ‘em and more important, I *trust* them having that confidence in this type of software is paramount. I’ve had the full-meal-deal version of the Intego products for several years.
Industrial strength (minus a few features) did I mention FREE ?
