AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe VirusBarrier daemon is not a standalone app but a background component of Intego VirusBarrier itself. According to Intego support, the current full commercial version of VirusBarrier is available as a native Apple Silicon build in version 10.9.77 and later. To ensure the daemon runs natively on your Mac rather than under Rosetta 2, you must update the parent VirusBarrier application to the latest version available from Intego. Visit intego.com/support/downloads, log in with your VirusBarrier license, and download the current native build of VirusBarrier. After installation, the daemon will automatically be updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. If you are running VirusBarrier X6 specifically (an older product line), be aware that Intego has largely superseded it with newer VirusBarrier versions that ship as native builds. The Intel-only daemon will stop functioning entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so updating to a current native build of VirusBarrier is essential before then.
