Intego vs Surfshark Antivirus

Intego and Surfshark Antivirus compared side by side: protection, performance, pricing, and features. Which antivirus suits you better?

Intego

Intego has specialized in Mac security for over 25 years and is widely considered the best antivirus solution for Apple users. The software is natively developed for macOS and offers excellent protection with minimal system impact. The Mac Internet Security X9 package includes real-time virus protection and an intelligent firewall. The Premium Bundle adds backup, cleanup, and parental controls. The only downside: Intego is purely Mac-focused – there is no Windows or Android protection.

Surfshark Antivirus

Surfshark Antivirus is part of the Surfshark One suite, combining virus protection with VPN, data breach alerts, and a private search engine. The antivirus detects malware in real time and protects your webcam from unauthorized access. The biggest advantage: unlimited devices at the same price. Ideal for families and shared households looking for an all-in-one security package at a top price. Pure antivirus protection is solid but not quite at the level of Bitdefender or Norton.
