Intrusta provides antivirus protection for Windows and Mac computers, with mobile device security products still in development. It intends to be known as the antivirus company with empathetic and helpful customer support, reachable by phone.

The Bad
- New in the Marketplace
- Mobile Protection
New in the Marketplace
As with all new companies, Intrusta is still building its reputation in this competitive industry.
Mobile Protection
The company is still working on its anti-virus software products for mobile devices. They aren't available yet. It would be great to be able to pay just one service for all of your antivirus protection needs.
The Bottom Line
With the growing threat of identity theft, you need to have virus protection software to protect your personal information, whether you are just surfing internet sites for fun or using online banking services. You want to keep yourself, your network, and your information safe from thieves or those who would harm you.
Intrusta is banking on its specialty as a customer-friendly company with several contact options and easy-to-use virus protection products. The company is still new, but with its competitively priced multi-device plans, we will be watching to see how well it performs in this niche.
