To convert other file formats to the "Security Configuration File" file type, you need software like VirusBarrier X6 or a similar tool.
A .vbx6settings file is a proprietary configuration backup created by VirusBarrier X6, an older macOS antivirus and firewall suite developed by Intego. It stores user-defined network rules, malware scan schedules, and general security preferences.
The primary disadvantage of this format is its strict vendor lock-in and obsolescence. It is heavily tied to the legacy X6 generation of the software and generally cannot be imported into modern security suites or even newer versions of VirusBarrier. Furthermore, it is a closed, proprietary format that requires specific software to interpret. Users typically want to convert these files to readable text (TXT) or standard XML to manually review old firewall rules before migrating to a new system.
Because it is a highly specialized application settings file, standard online converters fail to process it. Only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as a standard macOS property list (.plist) or plain text XML - viewing or extracting your old configuration rules may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your VBX6SETTINGS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
