Intego debuts NetBarrier X4 at MacExpo

Intego today announced the latest version of its flagship product, NetBarrier X4. The new version of the personal firewall software is optimized for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, offering both antivandal and internet filters. Version 4 features an updated interface, improved firewall protection and optimization, better UDP port restrictions, support for different security policies for each type of attack, new stop-lists and trusted groups, per-port filtering for each application (anti-spyware), new monitoring options for a range of ports, and more. It also includes both Intego and NetBarrier widgets for Tiger's Dashboard. It requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later with some features only available under Tiger. The software is expected to ship in early January 2006 for $70 with upgrades priced at $45.

People, their PR dept. sucked for the language and FUD used in Finder bug. Thing was real but really announced in a "lame way". :)

It is Virusbarrier...

The Netbarrier runs since 2003 here and never, ever failed. It does detect lots of real attacks and I noticed a couple of "non general" unix port scans.

Of course OS X firewall is fine too. This is "more advanced" firewall. I used firewalls on windows too. Never seen such non problematic one.
