NetUpdateAgent
NetUpdateAgent is a background utility component of Intego's Mac security software suite, including products like VirusBarrier and NetBarrier. This agent runs quietly in the background to automatically check for and download security updates, virus definition updates, and software patches for Intego's security applications. It ensures that users' Mac security software stays current with the latest threat protection without requiring manual intervention. The agent is essential for maintaining real-time security coverage and is typically installed automatically when users install Intego's main security products.

All current versions of Intego's products, including VirusBarrier X9, NetBarrier X9, and their other security tools, now include native Apple Silicon support along with their associated NetUpdateAgent components. You should update to the latest version of your Intego security software through the Intego Updater or by downloading directly from Intego's website. The newer versions will automatically replace the Intel-only NetUpdateAgent with a universal binary version that runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs.
