NetUpdate Installer is a launchDaemon component embedded within Intego VirusBarrier, Intego's antivirus and system security application for macOS. The installer daemon handles background updates and maintenance tasks for VirusBarrier, ensuring the security definitions and application components stay current without requiring manual intervention. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNetUpdate Installer is a sub-component of Intego VirusBarrier and cannot be updated separately — updating VirusBarrier itself is what updates the installer daemon to its native Apple Silicon build. If you are running an Intel version of VirusBarrier under Rosetta, reinstall or update VirusBarrier from Intego's official website or through Intego's own auto-update mechanism (usually triggered from within the VirusBarrier application settings or Control Center). Do not rely on the Mac App Store if VirusBarrier was originally installed directly from Intego, as the distribution channels may differ. After VirusBarrier updates, the NetUpdate Installer daemon will automatically be updated to the native build, and you will see improved performance and battery life on your M-series Mac.
