NetUpdate
NetUpdate is Intego’s Mac update utility for checking, downloading, and installing updates for installed Intego software and support files.
What is NetUpdate?
NetUpdate is a macOS utility from INTEGO that keeps installed Intego software up to date. It checks for newer versions of Intego applications as well as related support files such as security filters and definitions, then downloads and installs available updates from within one interface. Users commonly encounter it as part of Intego security products rather than as a standalone app, and it may also provide scheduled automatic update checks. On a Mac, NetUpdate is typically used to maintain current protection data and program versions without opening each Intego app separately. It is most relevant for people who use Intego antivirus, internet security, or other Intego tools and want a central place to manage updates.

- Check for available updates across installed Intego software
- Download and install program updates from one utility
- Update support files such as security filters and definitions
- Schedule automatic update checks on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
NetUpdate is a legitimate updater for Intego software on Mac. Network access is normal because it contacts Intego servers to check for and download updates, and installation may request your Mac administrator password when applying software changes. Keep it if you use Intego products, since disabling or removing it can prevent those apps from receiving program updates or current protection data.
Recommendation: Keep NetUpdate if you use any Intego software on this Mac. It helps those apps stay current, and removing it may stop automatic or manual updates from working until the related Intego product is reinstalled.
