Which product? Virus Barrier is not needed nor is Network Barrier. Content 
Barrier MIGHT be of some use on a Mac used by children.

No. Intego is a FUD merchant. If you want an AV product on your mac to protect 
you from all those windows viruses out there, get ClamXav 
<https://www.clamxav.com> and send the guy $10-$20 or so.

MacKeeper is useless, is scamware and worse it opens up your mac to actual 
malware

Delete it.
