In its first month of downloads, Intego’s VirusBarrier Express, which is being distributed exclusively on the Mac App Store, has racked up an impressive 500,000 downloads. VirusBarrier Express is Intego’s free antivirus and anti-malware offering that claims to protect Mac users from viruses, Trojan horses and other malware, including Windows malware that could be accidently passed on.
VirusBarrier Express was available from January 6th on the Mac App Store exclusively and more than a month since then, it remains the only anti-virus and anti-malware offering available through the store. Intego’s CEO Laurent Marteau said of the app’s success that “We’re delighted to have such resounding success in the Mac App Store, the Mac App Store is a revolutionary new way to distribute software, and it is providing new avenues for users to discover useful programs.”
Intego’s press release today also noted that a recent update has brought support for a total of 10 languages. You can download VirusBarrier Express here in the Mac App Store.
