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.

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).

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 ;)

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.

BS0D It seems that the app keeps me from using the search function on websites.

on MU for example, I get a blank page when I try a search.

Any advice?

BS0D Yep, and it doesn't work... blank page. Off the top of my head I cant give you any other examples but there are other sites whose search function doesnt work since I installed X5

BS0D oops, sorry just realized you wrote "HOW"!

Not sure what you mean though...

I just type my search in the box, and hit enter or click "Go", how else would you search?

JUSTIN K. I had the same issue too 2 month ago

Maybe you should uncheck the box "Hide information on the last website visited"

from Privacy>Data>Surf ===>information hiding

it has worked for me... ;-)

MISHA BS0D: The reason I was asking is because we have blocked some third party tools from searching our site. Obviously if you are searching macupdate.com from the home page you should not have an issue. I'll investigate this further to make sure it's not an issue at our end. Is it affecting other search engines you use, as well?

DP8 If you have cookies disabled, or are hiding browser information like the user agent string, MU search will not return results.

BS0D JustinK, Misha and VictorB:

Thank you all for your concern. Misha, Victor, please don't worry.

JustinK, you just solved my problem. It seems like MU requires to see the last website I visited to let me search the site (too bad, because I prefer to hide my info and surfing info when I'm online, but oh well)!

So, problem fixed.

Thanks JustinK ;)

I have finally managed to configure NetBarrier the way I want it, and I'm starting to appreciate it more and more. And I'm also finding it less invasive.

Thanks again everyone :)

SHMK I got this with the promo bundle, I configured it with the simple setting and then started to get all sorts of weird problems with my browser search engines stopped working and stuff like that. I can't say 100% if netbarrier was the problem or my configuration of it but since I have uninstalled it everything is running fine again. Strange.
