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 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]

In July 2018, Kape Technologies announced the acquisition of Intego to "enhance [their] arsenal of products in cyber protection for iOS."[9]

In September 2020 Intego Softwares released also a Windows Version of the Security/Antivirus Suite.
