VirusBarrier X5 Service
VirusBarrier X5 Service is a macOS system service component from Intego, a subsidiary of Malwarebytes that provides antivirus and security solutions for Mac. This service bundle integrates with the macOS Services menu to provide on-demand scanning and security features. It works as part of the broader VirusBarrier X5 security suite, which protects against viruses, malware, trojans and other threats on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVirusBarrier X5 Service is not a standalone application but a component of Intego's VirusBarrier X5 security suite. It cannot be updated separately. To ensure this service component has a native Apple Silicon build, update VirusBarrier X5 itself to the latest version. Download the current VirusBarrier X5 installer from Intego's website (intego.com) or use the built-in updater within VirusBarrier if it is already installed (check Security menu or Intego's product interface for Check for Updates). Intego has released native Apple Silicon builds of VirusBarrier X5, so updating to the latest version will replace this service component with its native counterpart. This ensures the service will continue to work after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028).
