This App was recommended to me by someone in my photography club. I'd like to know if anyone uses it and what the pros and cons are; if any. Also, I should mention that I already have Malwarebytes installed on my system.

Thanks,
Mike

That's good to know, thank you. Are there any recommended settings that should be applied before running the app or leave everything as default?

Hi Mike - first obtain the Onyx version HERE at the Titanium Website and select the one specific for your macOS - important! As most recommend here, simply run the 'default' setting (see second pic below) - if you want to change parameters which I've not done, be sure that you understand their effect. Dave :)

If you want, you can grab the "Maintenance" app instead, also from OnyX, as it is just the maintenance section of OnyX.

Thank you Bob, much appreciated. I'll have a look.
