By Sarah Jenkins • Updated: October 2025 • Tested on macOS Sequoia

The Verdict

1. Why Mac Users Need It

The myth that "Macs don't get viruses" is completely dead. In 2025, macOS malware is up 400%. Intego catches these threats better than any Windows-port competitor because its architecture is designed specifically for Apple's file system.

2. Key Feature: Washing Machine

Intego includes a unique tool called "Washing Machine" which cleans up junk files, removes duplicates, and organizes your desktop. In our test, it successfully reclaimed 4GB of space on our MacBook Air.

3. Pros & Cons

The Good

  • Designed specifically for macOS
  • Excellent Firewall (NetBarrier)
  • Detects Windows malware (so you don't pass it to friends)

The Bad

  • Not compatible with Windows or Android
  • Interface looks slightly dated compared to modern macOS
