If your friend got onto your computer and visited a bunch of adult sites, then I would recommend something like OnyX, doing ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects and rebooting, perhaps followed by a Disk Utility Erase free space.ĬCleaner beta is out for OS X, used on PC's and combines cleaning and scrubbing of the drive if setup correctly. Most of those cleaning programs are junk, especially MacKeeper. Keeping Software Updated and run a web browser check to make sure the plug-ins are current.įor Safari and Flash, this check is more accurate
The app replicates the feeling of a fresh system restart and helps to keep your Mac running smooth and fast.įar as other Mac maintainence, there really isn't any except to backup one's files regularly.
Memory Clean 3 is an absolutely gorgeous, extremely powerful and super slick app for optimizing your Mac's memory. There are certain cases where's it's needed to free up a large spaces on the drive, but not something everyone has to do. Disk Utility and other apps might show storage categories such as Not Mounted, VM, Recovery, Other Volumes, Other, Free, or Purgeable. Mac's don't need defragging as OS X automatically writes 2Gb or below sized files to one contiguous space on the drive. The Storage pane of About This Mac is the best way to determine the amount of storage space available on your Mac.
