ZX81 Beware! If you wish to install a trial version of VirusBarrier X6, it uninstalls NetBarrier X5. At the moment, I'm having a hell of a time with Intego support (!) trying to recover NB.

XENOS i urge MacUpdate to shut down the user reviews as they mostly are pure nonsense.

comparingLittle Snitch with NetBarrier, for instance, or the fact that those users proving they have not the least order on their Apple joke boxes and never applying system maintenance but calling developer's work crap, demonstrates what annoying burden it is to read all this crap, which it mostly is.

MacUpdate, stop it! don't give chaotic kids any longer the chance to produce themselves !

JAKE THE SNAKE Maybe MacUpdate should start with your childish rant

How can you not expect comparisons of Little Snitch and Net Barrier, they both do the same thing but differently??

If you don't want to see any such comparisons try poking out your eyes until you go blind.

LOL

MACTECHHEAD WTH is this clown even babbling about. I agree. Start by deleting the clown's post which makes no sense!

Dumb kids that don't know how to use a spell checker or string a coherent sentence together should be banned from MacUpdate.

KOBALT @ JAKE THE SNAKE - Time to get your facts straight. Little Snitch and Netbarrier are pretty much completely opposite in what they do. The first warns of and optionally stops stuff leaving your computer (from the dev: "As soon as you're connected to the Internet, applications can potentially send whatever information they want to wherever they want."). The other warns and optionally stops stuff entering your computer (from the dev: "Intego NetBarrier X5 ... offers thorough protection against intrusions coming across the Internet or a local network.")

@ MACTECHHEAD - Could you please be a little less superior in your comments? Not everyone lives in an English-speaking country and we don't all have a perfect command of the English language. Oh, and spell checkers don't work on grammar or sentence construction. Btw, swearing is generally thought to show a lack of creativity and respect.

MISHA Actually, you can configure NetBarrier to alert you of outgoing connections initiated by apps on your Mac, similar to LittleSnitch...

TEXASSTARGAZER This is a great application, I highly recommend it. I have contacted Intego support several times and have had great support from them.

DJ PROTEGE Im having trouble uninstalling. I went through deleting everything in library of intego and netupdate, used app zapper to delete app. But I cant kill the "netbarrier daemo (870)" process, I tried force quitting the process, Authenticated it, and the root process runs active soon as I Auth. the force quit. Same with the "netupdateagent" process.

Any idea on how I can get this off my HD??? Im trying to lower the amount of running process, I have 70 running at idle. Does it even matter how many process are active??? Im a n00b so please let me know respectfully.

ILGAZ It has uninstaller right in the disk image you downloaded. You should run it to remove netbarrier, it is not a trivial application which you can uninstall with moving files to trash. kernel extensions etc. included too.

If you run the uninstaller, it will remove the files in right way.

VLAD DIDENKO Not well thought-through firewall application. Messages are useless and information provided to make decisions is completely inadequate: http://didenko.com/files/091014_intego.png . Limited configurability - no way to allow/blok outgoing connections by destination domain/ip range (to prevent calls home, but leave other functionality intact).
(Version 10.5.5)

TEXASSTARGAZER Been looking for something like this for a long time. If you're looking for something more then the basic firewall that comes with Mac, give this one a try, I think you'll really like it.

RAVEN. It froze my screen and Mac. After a restart it all works and shows up to date ??????

Strange behavior! It seems to work flawless like always!

I use Netbarrier now for years and this is my first error!

GAZMAN I can not download this update through NetUpdate (gives an invalid numeric signature error each time) or through Safari or Firefox.

MITCH_DE This update offers

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard compatibility

and addresses a number of other minor issues.

Why not this short message in the changes ;)
(Version 10.5.4)

CREVATIS Most of the features work nicely. This software does give you a feeling like you have a little more control over what goes on with your computer. Little Snitch give you much more granular control over what this program does with its "anti-spyware". The biggest problem is the Data filter feature often causes kernel panics when it catches data you want to filter. When asking their tech support for a solution to this all they offered was to try re-installing the software. After that they have ignored me and have to answered questions for further help with this issue. So if you buy this software, you are on your own. Their support stinks.
