hello all. i just joined this forum. i have a question about which program to use. before there was no cleaner for mac, but now there is. i used to use ccleaner when i was a pc user but when i switched to mac i was recommended to onyx. i just did a clean install with lion os and now that there is ccleaner for mac, what should i use. I been told that onyx has more features but if u dunno what u are doing, you can mess up your mac. Since i am a new mac user, have had for a year but still learning my way around. should i stick with ccleaner?
whats the benefit of using onyx?

any advice would be greatly appreciated. i will wait to see what u guys write and get that app.

thanks in advance

I used (use) Ccleaner on the PC and am a huge fan. But on my Mac I've stayed with Onyx as I think it is more thorough. Still, early days for Ccleaner on the Mac though and it may develop. That said, I've only run Onyx a couple of times as I just haven't had the need, sort of keep it in the back pocket for problems which have never appeared - gotta love the Mac.

Used ccleaner on the PC and still do.

But.... I favour Onyx on Mac

I'm sticking with OnyX because I wouldn't trust a PC utility maker to have any idea what they are doing on Mac until at least version 3.
