Earlier today we were reporting that Kaspersky Lab’s Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, because it is a properly good security software solution you could use to protect your Windows-powered computer, has won two more awards from reputable IT magazines. Switching focus away from the PC and putting the spotlight on the Mac, Intego has received recognition for its VirusBarrier X6 antivirus application.
