About This App

Intego VirusBarrier is a macOS antivirus and security utility from Intego that provides real-time malware scanning, threat detection, and system protection. The com.intego.netupdate.daemon component is a launch daemon—a background service bundled within VirusBarrier that handles automatic updates and security definition refreshes. A native Apple Silicon build of this component has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

This daemon is a sub-component of Intego VirusBarrier and cannot be updated separately. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon build of VirusBarrier (which includes this daemon), update VirusBarrier itself through Intego's own update mechanism: launch VirusBarrier, go to Help or Preferences, look for Check for Updates, and follow any prompts to install the latest version. Alternatively, visit Intego's website directly to download the latest installer. VirusBarrier ships a Universal Binary that runs natively on M-series Macs, so once you have updated to a recent build, this daemon will automatically be running natively with no additional steps needed.
