[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1809285, member: 83420"] And there are orphan files from Clean Up apps. These should go as well. Allen, I am the first to recognise that individuals are free to run their Macs any way they want - and that must remain the standard. But, as a group, this Forum has a wealth of experience of Macs and when people report problems and ask for help, we are obliged to point out the obvious and allow users to make their own judgment as to their implementation. No AV. Use Malwarebytes app to detect and remove Malware to which ALL computers are at risk and which are rarely detected by AV apps. No clean-up apps apart from the occasional use of OnyX; default settings. Ditto System Modifications. A sound Backup (BU) strategy. Time Machine as minimum, but better to add a cloning, bootable, BU such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! as well. People ask. We advise. Decisions always left to the users.:) Ian [/QUOTE]
