com.intego.VirusBarrierX6.scanner.daemon
VirusBarrier Scanner daemon is a background scanning component of Intego VirusBarrier, a commercial antivirus and malware-removal tool for macOS. The daemon handles on-demand and scheduled scanning operations, detecting Mac and Windows malware, and works alongside the main VirusBarrier application to keep the system secure. The scanner engine updates its malware definitions automatically and can quarantine or remove detected threats.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a helper component of Intego VirusBarrier, not a standalone app. The daemon itself cannot be updated separately — updating the parent VirusBarrier application is what brings the daemon up to date. According to Intego support, the VirusBarrier Scanner engine has historically lacked native Apple Silicon support, and Intego stated in mid-2024 that they were working on an updated native version for App Store release, though no public timeline was given. Since you are on a Mac with Apple Silicon, ensure you are running the latest version of Intego VirusBarrier itself (the full commercial product, not just the free Scanner app). You can check for and install updates by opening VirusBarrier, going to Help → Check for Updates, or by visiting Intego's support page at support.intego.com/hc/en-us/articles/224854468. If you are using the free VirusBarrier Scanner app from the Mac App Store instead of the commercial VirusBarrier suite, note that Intego is actively working to update that product with native Apple Silicon support, so check the App Store for updates periodically. Given that Rosetta 2 will be removed in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to keep your security software on a current, native-capable version well before that deadline.
