NetUpdate Events is a launch agent component of Intego VirusBarrier, Intego's antivirus and Mac security suite. This helper runs in the background to manage event handling and update checks for the parent antivirus application, ensuring the system stays current with the latest threat definitions and security patches. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNetUpdate Events is not a standalone application but a background helper component of Intego VirusBarrier, so it cannot be updated separately. To get the native Apple Silicon build of this helper, update Intego VirusBarrier itself to the latest version through Intego's update mechanism. Launch VirusBarrier, open its preferences or settings, and look for a Check for Updates option; alternatively, visit Intego's website to download the latest VirusBarrier installer, which will include the native build of all components including NetUpdate Events. The native version will provide better performance and lower power consumption than the Intel build running under Rosetta.
