Inernet security barrier
All Macs connected to the Internet (DSL, cable modem, etc.) are exposed to hackers, vandals and other security risks. Experts estimate that between 85% and 97% of intrusions are never detected.
Intego NetBarrier X4 is the Internet security solution for Macintosh computers running Mac OS X. It offers thorough protection against intrusions coming across the Internet or a local network.
Intego NetBarrier X4 protects your computer from intrusions by constantly filtering all the activity that enters and leaves through the Internet or a network. Intego NetBarrier X4 protects you from thieves, hackers and intruders, and warns you automatically if any suspicious activity occurs.
NetBarrier X4 gives you an overview of all its powerful functions, and lets you customize its protection simply and easily. With Firewall, Antivandal, Privacy and Monitoring features, NetBarrier X4 is the only program that protects your Mac from all the dangers of the Internet.
NetBarrier X4's default settings are perfect for most users, and the program's custom firewall rules, antivandal protection settings, anti-spyware application blocking, filters and monitoring tools make it the ultimate tools for network administrators as well.
Personal Firewall
Intego NetBarrier X4 contains a personal firewall that filters data as it enters and leaves your computer. A full set of basic filtering rules is used by default, and its Customized protection mode allows you to create your own rules, if you need to.
Antivandal
Intego NetBarrier X4's Antivandal is a powerful guardian for your computer. It watches over your computer's network activity, looking for signs of intrusion, and, if it detects anything, stops the intruder in their tracks and sends you an alert. The Antivandal has another powerful function, the Stop List, that records the address of any intruder who attempts to get into your computer, and ensures that they cannot come back. Several options allow you to choose the type of protection you have on your computer. The Antispyware function lets you choose which applications to trust and how to handle unknown applications.
Privacy Protection
Intego NetBarrier X4 helps protect your privacy. It filters data to ensure that no sensitive information leaves your computer, blocks ad banners and lets you manage cookies, deleting them whenever you want. It can clean your browser's cache and history files. And it has a unique feature that hides information about your computer: its platform, which browser you are using, and the last web page you visited.
Data Filter
Intego NetBarrier X4 has a unique function that protects you and your information: its Data Filter ensures that any sensitive information you choose to protect cannot leave your computer and go onto a network. You decide what to protect, such as your credit card number, passwords, or key words that appear in sensitive documents, and Intego NetBarrier X4's Data Filter checks each outgoing packet to make sure that no documents containing this information are sent. Not only does this protect you from accidentally sending documents containing this information, it also prevents anyone who has network access to your computer from taking copies of them.
Monitoring
Intego NetBarrier X4 contains powerful tools for monitoring your network activity and usage. Its activity gauges show your network traffic in real time, and its additional monitoring functions give you essential information on your computer, its network, and the services and connections that are active.
Intego NetBarrier X4 even offers a monitoring screen saver, so you can always keep an eye on your network traffic.
