  1. I followed this solution, but I could not find the item “Intego” in the “Login Items” dialog box.
    What can I do, then?

      1. Yes, I reinstall VirusBarrier, and it is working good.
        But I have not original install package. So I downloaded new trial version and installed it.
        Then it looks a authorized version(my name and support number was recovered).

  2. I’ve had the Intego Software since 2010 and it hasn’t worked yet… After deciding to try again, I installed the update (the mac OS is 10.6.8) and removed IntegoStatusItemHelper from login. I emailed directly (twice I think, with no reply)… and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas please?
