So, So DISAPPOINTED after many years

I have been a satisfied Intego customer for many years. What the has gone wrong with this once great product? Your website is confusing! Your ever-expanding bundled products seem designed to be confusing! Your checkout is confusing! Your installation processes with multiple emails are pushing the boundaries of confusion. What happened? I’ve been a happy customer for a decade or more. However, the issues I have had navigating and installing your latest product and upgrades have forced me to simply delete the lot. Problem solved! I cannot support such a company. I donate the remains of my subscription to the team dedicated to fixing this mess and I wish them well.

BUYER BEWARE

On 7 Jul (with definitions from 2 Jul) -- Intego VirusBarrier quarantined 3 PDF files created in 2023 using macOS Notes. It said the files contained "trojan TR/PDF.Agent". I was fairly confident it was a false positive, but I decided to select Repair All. It proceeded quietly. I was curious if the repair made the files unusable.

Upon looking for the repaired files (in their original location), I was shocked they were gone -- DELETED.

I immediately contacted Customer Support, and I was shocked even further. In their opinion, this was correct behaviour: delete PDFs, provide no dialog whether deletion was acceptable, provide no logging to state the files were deleted (logs just said Repaired).

Here are a few "enlightening" statements from Customer Support:

- PDFs are considered office documents. [Despite being created with macOS Notes.]

- No repair attempt was made because the VirusBarrier AVSDK 10.9.63 and later is expected to automatically delete these files. [No warning -- just delete, don't log, and don't inform the user.]

- VirusBarrier deletes these files. [OMG!!]

As I hunt for a replacement to Intego, I realise the review sites maybe are not real but paid advertising/click bait to earn the website some money.

BUYER BEWARE.

SCAMMY company

SCAMMY company. They emailed me to advise me that my subscription was due. They said to cancel the subscription that I should log in to My Account and do so. Their website falsely claimed I'd used an incorrect email to log in (the same email address they's communicated with me on.)

I wrote to them to advise of this issue and told them to cancel the subscription.

They ignored this message and took $100 from my account without authorisation. THEFT!

They have ignored all communication from me.

Thankfully PayPal will rectify this, but my advice is STAY AWAY from this SCAM company!

Intego ONE (New)

Intego's latest offering is heads above the previous VirusBarrier product. Everything is integrated into one app. And this is by far the least demanding on resources of any AM product I've reviewed.

Intego's website clearly states freemium version

Intego's website clearly states that "Intego ONE's free version provides essential protection against malware and other common threats for most Mac users. Unlike many free antivirus programs, Intego ONE offers ongoing protection without expiration or limited trials. "

I spent a long time on a Support Chat with Intego asking how I could obtain this, and ultimately was told that I would be getting an email with a trial offer for the full product. My concern is that Intego states free without expiration, and then it's not readily available? This is bait & switch. I informed the live agent that I don't need an email offering a free trial. I'd like to see the freemium (their word) version, thanks. At the agent's request I sent a screenshot of their own site showing their own info about it. It was then reiterated that I would be getting an email with a trial offer for the full product.

You don't have the freemium option available, that's ok, so take it off your own website please!

Financial Charlatans

Just to warn everyone
Having being informed that I had an auto renewal against me I replied back to INTEGO twice that I had no auto renewal with them they failed to acknowledge my response. INTEGO have been informed by email that I will instruct my financial account provider to recover any monies taken without my consent.
