Intego, company that specializes in providing security solutions for Macs, has recently put out an update to its VirusBarrier X5. The update, VirusBarrier X5 version 10.5.8, comes with improved performance for many of the software’s functions, enhanced program logs, and several other changes that we’ll get into momentarily.

Before we present the new bits and pieces you can expect to get from VirusBarrier X5 10.5.8, here is a little insight into how efficient Intego’s security solutions really are.
