And I apologize for the almost unreadable formatting, a severe limitation of MacUpdate itself, which compresses maximum text into minimum space, leaving no whitespace for readability. But if all you can come up with is 5 stars and a sentence or two saying that program X is great and I don't know what I'm talking about, please save your breath. I will rate all these programs with one star, probably one more than they deserve. If I have missed any programs that should be on the list, please leave a comment and let me know. (Although macOS still comes with the storage drive initialized as 'Macintosh HD,' a quaint relic of a bygone era.) You are well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE BACKUP before attempting any changes. Many have 'disk' in their name, although disks, especially internal ones, are now a thing of the past. Macs simply do not need 'cleaning.' (See for example: ) Some of these programs are notorious for being little more than malware. True experts in macOS maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good. Most of the developers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of these programs by impartial 3rd parties. Many - probably the most accurate and honest - have negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them.

Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no useful commentary. There are now 76 (that's SEVENTY-SIX) programs in the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. Before you even *think* of installing any of them, PLEASE read this.

As a public service to the MacUpdate community, I've found as many of these 'cleaner' apps on this website as I could and listed them them below.

Even once it is cleaned, your Mac should still have antivirus software to protect it, such as Norton 360 Deluxe.This is not a review per se, it is a discussion of the class of software to which this program belongs. You should always check the DMG files on VirusTotal or with a good antivirus such as Norton, McAfee, or Bitdefender.

To avoid getting malware, you should always download apps directly from the company website (these kinds of cleaning applications are not available in the App Store), and avoid downloading anything from sites such as cnet dot com, macupdate dot com and others. Your pictures are safe - but products such as CleanMyMac will remove unnecessary files associated with Mac’s picture service. Many people worry that cleaning applications will delete their beloved photos - but this is not the case.

Meanwhile MacBooster is different because it has a duplicate file remover - an extra option to free up space on Mac Other highly praised Mac cleaners include Disk Doctor which is an award-winning UK product and aims to remove the junk that is slowing down your computer.

MacPaw is one of the most trusted makers of iOS focused products, a completely legit company with software that is Apple verified and safe to install. Apple has scanned its code and found no malicious components, so it is definitely not spyware.

Ukranian tech company MacPaw produces CleanMyMac X.
