VirusBarrier is a security application from Intego that provides malware and virus scanning for macOS. It offers both a standalone VirusBarrier Scanner utility and a comprehensive VirusBarrier X9 security suite with real-time protection, threat detection, and system scanning capabilities. VirusBarrier is widely used by Mac users who want additional antivirus protection alongside macOS's built-in security features. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community, though it is currently available only through the full VirusBarrier X9 commercial suite rather than as a standalone Scanner utility.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of the full VirusBarrier X9 suite already exists and has been verified running on Macs in our community. However, the free VirusBarrier Scanner utility (available via the App Store) is still Intel-only and remains under development by Intego for Apple Silicon native support. If you own the commercial VirusBarrier X9 suite, update through Intego's official website or your existing Intego application installer to ensure you have version 10.9.77 or later, which includes native Apple Silicon support and Sonoma compatibility. If you are using only the free VirusBarrier Scanner from the App Store, contact Intego support to enquire about the timeline for a native Apple Silicon build — as of the latest information available, they are working with Apple on an updated Scanner release, though no firm date has been announced. Given the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 will be removed, it is worth checking Intego's website or the App Store periodically for a native Scanner update.
