[QUOTE="PatM, post: 1265149, member: 206085"] I try not to use any of the so called Mac cleanup programs. I hear more bad things about them than good. I also am very careful about what I load into my computer especially since this is a new gig to me. I find the less I mess with it the better off I am. I actually learned that lesson on the Windows side of the equation. I've reformatted and reloaded operating systems more than I care to remember. One of the things that attracted me to the Mac was the stability of the operating system. But it can be just as unstable as a windows machine if programs are loaded willie nillie with no regards for the consequences. Don't get me wrong I'm not talking about you I'm talking about me. I am very careful what I load and try to do proper due diligence before I do. As well I am using a Sandbox now which lets me make system changes and software additions so that I can see if there are any unintended consequences. I don't know about the MacCleanse program or how good (or bad) it does it's job. Do you have a stable backup that you can restore from? Regards, Pat [/QUOTE]
