History

Founded by former CEO Laurent Marteau and based in Paris, France, Intego released its first antivirus product in 1997: Rival, an antivirus for Mac OS 8. Two years later in July 1999, Intego released NetBarrier, the first personal security software suite for Mac OS 8.[2][3]. Then in October 2000, Intego released its legacy antivirus software, VirusBarrier 1.0, for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9.[4][5]

Intego launched The Mac Security Blog in mid-2007, a blog that covers Mac security news, Apple security updates, Mac malware alerts, as well as news and opinion pieces related to Apple products.[6] The company also launched a podcast in October 2017, called the Intego Mac Podcast.[7] Intego released its current X9 version of antivirus and security software in June 2016.[8]
