Enable Full Disk Access in macOS

What is Full Disk Access?

Starting with macOS 10.14, Mojave; Intego software may require Full Disk Access to scan your Mail, Messages, Safari files, and other user data.

Full Disk Access is a new security feature in macOS Mojave that requires some applications to be given full permission to access a user's protected files. This way, only applications that are approved can gain access. In previous versions of macOS, this permission was automatically given to all applications at the time of installation. If a user chooses not to give Full Disk Access, some data on the Mac will not be accessible. This is especially important for applications that need to perform specifics tasks such as scanning for malware (VirusBarrier) or data backup (Personal Backup).

If you do not allow Full Disk Access for your Intego software, it cannot protect your data as intended.
