My view on clean up utilites for Mac and Windows.

Hello again;
I got asked this question by a friend the other day and thought I would share what I told him with you.
What clean up program for mac should I use on my Macbook Air? The answer really is you shouldn't need one at all.

For the most part Macs run perfectly. They don't have a lot of problem with getting junk files and what not and really if you do any research most clean up programs for mac are smoke a mirrors. They tell you these wonderful things they do but in reality they only do what any normal person could do any way. There is really only 3 things you can do to speed up a mac and if those don't work sorry to say there is might be a hardware issue if those don't get the results you desire.

Windows on the other hand does need these programs. Windows by is own creation is not a very efficient system. It leaves files around after a uninstall and doesn't delete old registry errors. And if you don't know what you are doing or deleting in a registry you can be asking for some trouble for sure. So by all means there is a need for these programs for Windows.

Thanks being said you do need some sort of antivirus for Mac. You maybe thinking wait that is one of the selling points it doesn't get viruses. This is some what true. Virus are rare on macs but right now its only because they aren't as popular as windows. And you can look it up online if you want and you can see reports made for the rare Mac bugs shall we say.

I am also working on a easy guide for how to maintain your mac for those mac owners and hoping to put that out pretty soon. Only few things you can do but they are kind of hard to get too but easy to do once you find the area you need to be in. Thanks again for reading and stay geeky my friends.
