You're forced to Force Quit! I've gone over this lousy situation with their tech support twice at this point. If you're downloading stuff that could potentially be Trojans or scamWarz crap, then use it! (2) When VirusBarrier does find something bad, it doesn't provide ANY method of canceling out of either Trust what it found, or Repair (aka kill) what it found, or if you have Real-Time Scanning on, shoving the thingy into Quarantine. Note that unless you're doing something questionable, there is no point in using Real-Time Scanning on a Mac anyway.
So, don't do that unless you ONLY want VirusBarrier running. Nothing else is allowed to run, creating the worst possible 'Sit&Spin' scenario.
But here's why I knocked off one star: (1) When you allow it to use Real-Time Scanning without 'Scan on low priority', it literally eats your system calls alive.
