So I just got my MB couple weeks ago. I want to maintain it so its running optimal all the time. I know for XP I used to defrag every now and than, do a virus scan, disk cleanup and clear my registry.

What can I do on a mac? Is there such a thing as defrag to make it run faster again? I don't think I have viruses, but what about disk clean up? Anything else? Anything I can use to delete install files? I'm not really sure how the system format works on a mac either, but anything and everything to make my baby run smoothly would be helpful. Thank you.
