I tend not to use many utilities as I tend to be very skeptical about the claims made. I have had my MacBook for a little over four years though and some things, especially FileMaker Pro which I use daily, had gotten really slow. I decided to use this based on the recommendations here and I cannot believe the difference!!! Everything is NOTICEABLY faster!!! Filemaker is screaming fast where it was painfully slow.

I don't know how this program does what it does, but I am a believer!!

Was wondering the very same thing.
There is a whole lot out there I must be missing.

I have been a Mac user since 1990. You used to have to have a bunch of utilites, tinker with the system a lot, and in general do a lot more system level upkeep. The system is so good now you really don't have to have/do a lot. This CleanMyMac is good though.

Peter, all cleaning utilities run the risk of deleting files your applications need, but used with caution they can certainly help your mac run more efficiently. Here's a site that contains a lot of user reviews for various programs and utilities. Just search for what you want and follow the "more" (opinions) link.

Peter: When I Saw A Review On CleanMyMac It Recommended Onyx, Also. Apparently You Have To Pay 29.95 Every 6 Months For CleanMyMac.

No, $29.95 gets you a lifetime license for CleanMyMac.

Sometimes you have to pay for quality programs, not everything is going to be open source, freeware. CMM is WELL worth $30.
