VirusBarrier Express overview

VirusBarrier Express is a free antivirus and anti-malware tool based on the award-winning technology of Intego's VirusBarrier X6. VirusBarrier Express protects Mac users from viruses, Trojan horses and other types of malware, and also detects Windows malware, so Mac users don't pass on infected files to their Windows-using friends and colleagues.

VirusBarrier Express lets users run manual scans of any file, folder or volume on their Mac for which they have rights, and offers scheduled scans that can be run on any item. Users can also repair any infected files for which they have rights, and a command-line tool, available as part of VirusBarrier Express, allows administrative users to scan and repair all files on their Mac.

I am not sure that the malware's definitions are still updated: I launched the program today (October 3, 2018) , and he tells me that the definitions previously recorded (Feb 1, 2018) are still up to date!

People should realize that they are giving away their information by using most of 'FREE' application. developer but third parties. Maybe it's just your email address or maybe it's your activity pattern. I'd rather pay fairly to support the developers especially this type of software..
ClamXav works just fine.
