AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNetUpdateAgent is not a standalone application but a background helper bundled inside Intego VirusBarrier itself. There is nothing to update separately — you update the parent VirusBarrier application and the native version of NetUpdateAgent comes along automatically. Open Intego VirusBarrier on your Mac, check the Help or Settings menu for a "Check for Updates" option (or let the automatic update check run), and install the latest build from Intego. The vendor is aware of Apple Silicon and ships native builds as part of the current VirusBarrier releases. Once the parent application updates to its native build, NetUpdateAgent will also be native and will continue running in the background with better performance and battery efficiency.
