Halloween isn’t just for ghosts and candy – it’s also a good time to protect your Mac from lurking cyber‑threats. Intego, a long‑standing name in Mac security, has cut the price of its One Advanced two‑year plan by 40%, making the package more affordable for anyone looking to harden their macOS devices.
Key takeaways- Intego One Advanced two‑year plan is $78 in the US (down from $130) and £60 in the UK (down from £100).
- The bundle includes antivirus, a network firewall, and SmartClean for app cleanup and performance.
- Discount applies to a single Mac; you can add up to five devices for an extra cost.
- No monthly subscription fees – you pay once for two years of protection.
What’s inside the Intego One Advanced plan?
Intego’s flagship offering combines three core security tools:
- Antivirus engine – scans for malware, ransomware, and other macOS‑specific threats.
- Firewall management – lets you monitor and control which apps can access the network, adding a layer of defense against unwanted connections.
- SmartClean – identifies stubborn apps and leftover files, freeing space and helping the system run smoother.
When TechRadar tested the suite earlier this year, they praised its ease of use and consistent updates, awarding it four stars and calling it the best Mac antivirus with a firewall in their guide.
Pricing breakdown
| Region | Original price | Discounted price | Monthly equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $130 | $78 | $3.25 |
| United Kingdom | £100 | £60 | £2.50 |
The discount is the lowest price seen for the plan in the past 30 days, according to Intego’s pricing history display.
Who should consider this deal?
The bundle is aimed at Apple users who want comprehensive protection without juggling multiple subscriptions. It’s especially useful for:
- Home users with a single Mac who want a set‑and‑forget security solution.
- Small offices or families that may expand coverage to up to five devices.
- Anyone who prefers a one‑time payment over recurring monthly fees.
How to claim the Halloween discount
To take advantage of the offer, visit Intego’s website and select the One Advanced two‑year plan. The discount is applied automatically at checkout – no coupon code is required. After purchase, you’ll receive a license key via email, which you can enter in the Intego app to activate protection immediately.
What this means for you
If you’ve been postponing a security upgrade because of price, the 40% cut brings the cost down to under $4 per month, a price point comparable to many consumer‑grade antivirus products on Windows. With macOS gaining more attention from threat actors, the added firewall and SmartClean features give you a broader safety net than a basic scanner.
- Download the Intego installer, run it, and follow the on‑screen prompts to install the suite.
- During setup, enable the firewall and let SmartClean run its initial scan – it will suggest apps that can be safely removed.
- Set a weekly automatic scan schedule to keep your system continuously protected.
What happens next?
Intego typically updates its virus definitions multiple times per week, so your Mac will stay protected against emerging threats. The company also releases major feature updates annually; existing licenses receive these upgrades at no extra cost. Keep an eye on future seasonal promotions – the brand often repeats discount events around major holidays.
FAQ
- Can I use the discount on a one‑year plan? The 40% off promotion applies only to the two‑year plan, though a one‑year option is still available at regular pricing.
- Is there a free trial? Intego does not advertise a free trial for the One Advanced bundle; the discount is the primary incentive.
- Will the license work on macOS Ventura and later? Yes – Intego updates its software to support the latest macOS releases.
- How many devices can I protect? The base price covers one Mac for two years; you can add up to four more devices for an additional fee.
- What if I already have another Mac antivirus? You can run Intego alongside other security tools, but it’s usually best to keep a single suite to avoid conflicts.
