[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1663938, member: 204485"] I really object to the constant referral to CleanMyMac as Crapware. I see this reference on this forum frequently but i have yet to see any supporting evidence to warrant it. I started using CleanMyMac when it was first released in 2009 and have it installed and regularly run on two MBP's. I have [B]never[/B] had a problem that could be attributed to it. On the other hand the frequently promoted Onyx app has the potential to do much more damage if it is not used exclusively on default settings (as advised). I would happily put MacKeeper and others in the crapware basket but I really think dismissing CleanMyMac as such is totally unwarranted unless you can point me in the direction of a legitimate complaint. As an old program regression tester I can say that before you can point the finger at a program glitch/fault you must first eliminate user error. I would like to see someone in this forum download CMM 3 run it and see if it does cause any problems. I can't find any and over the time I have been using it on this 2013 MBP it has quickly and conveniently removed hundreds of Gb of unneeded files. I will admit it has some unnecessary bells and whistles but the core program does exactly what it claims to do and I have always found MacPaw to be a reputable company. [/QUOTE]
