Halloween discount for Mac security suite

For Halloween, Intego has cut the price of its Mac security suite by 40 percent, adding disk cleaning features to its antivirus and firewall.

Pricing details for the Advanced formula

Intego ONE Advanced is now priced at 65.99 euros for two years, the lowest in the last 30 days. This price covers one Mac and is significantly lower than the previous 109.99 euros, or 2.75 euros per month.

Suite options and features

The Intego suite offers three formulas: Essential includes antivirus and firewall, Advanced adds SmartClean for disk cleanup, and Complete adds a virtual private network (VPN). The Advanced formula is aimed at users who want macOS-specific protection and a clean disk without needing a VPN.

AV-Test certification and performance

In March 2026, AV-Test gave Intego ONE the maximum score of 6/6 in protection, performance, and usability. It detected 100 percent of 405 recent macOS malware samples, and suspicious files are placed in quarantine.

Firewall features and user control

The firewall in Intego ONE shows which applications are connecting to the internet and allows users to authorize or block each connection individually. This provides detailed visibility and control over network activity.

SmartClean for disk management

SmartClean, part of the Advanced formula, identifies unnecessary files, caches, and logs, helping users reclaim storage space. It also allows for clean uninstallation of applications, avoiding leftover files on the disk.

Antivirus monitoring and cross-platform detection

The antivirus component monitors downloads, attachments, and shared files with customizable scan options. It can detect Windows malware, which is useful for users who transfer files between different operating systems.

System resource usage noted

In testing, Intego ONE used about 1.3 GB of memory at rest, with 1.03 GB dedicated to the malware detection engine. This could be a concern for users with only 8 GB of memory, the minimum recommended by the publisher.

Comparison with other security suites

Compared to other suites, Intego ONE Advanced lacks a built-in VPN, parental controls, and a dedicated phishing filter. Bitdefender Total Security, for example, includes web protection and phishing filters and offers a 30-day trial.

User interface and satisfaction guarantee

Intego ONE received praise for its clear and visual interface, though it generated many firewall alerts during initial setup. It offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, giving users time to evaluate the software before committing.

Limitations and considerations

The Advanced formula does not include a VPN, parental controls, or phishing protection. Users should be aware of the automatic renewal at 109.99 euros every two years and consider this when purchasing. The Halloween discount provides significant value, but users should note the system requirements and feature limitations.
