Intego, company that specializes in providing security solutions for Macs, has recently rolled out VirusBarrier Server 3, the security software solution that provides malware protection to Mac that run as servers. Beside malware protection, VirusBarrier Server 3 also provides advanced protection from network threats.

Based on VirusBarrier X6, VirusBarrier Server 3 has improved detection methods and new threat-detection techniques to offer. It comes with full antivirus and antimalware protection, a two-way firewall, anti-intrusion features and a lot more - that we will presented in a bit.

First, a comment from Intego: “Servers running Mac OS X need strong protection from malware, both to ensure that the servers don’t get infected, but also to protect file repositories where users freely exchange files. Whether in Mac-only or heterogeneous environments, VirusBarrier Server 3, with its detection of Mac OS X, Windows, Unix and Linux malware, ensures that files on the server will be safe.”

Here is a detailed list of features you can expect to get from VirusBarrier Server 3:

• Detects new types of malware – like for example scareware (or fake antivirus applications), spyware, hacking tools, dialers, proof-of-concept malware, and more.
• Email server protection – by integrating with the Mac OS X Server’s e-mail server, it can scan nicoming and outgoing emails for malicious attachments
• Scanning and security options – the user can decide what and when it is scanned; the use can decide what types of threats VirusBarrier Server 3 should look for.
• Performance control – the user can select a level of CPU time to be allocated to background scans.
