re: Best Free Mac Clean-up/Anti Virus.

Clean my Mac is most certainly making your computer worse. Outside of trying to remove forensic evidence, using these “cleaning” tools like Clean my Mac or ccleaner just removes a lot of stuff the OS and apps are using to do things faster or more efficiently. I guarantee you Apple has about 30 gazallion more phd savants trying to solve the problem of making a Mac run better than the good people at Clean my Mac.

How old and what are the specs on your Mac? Apple is not a huge fan of allowing you to upgrade their laptops so if it’s an old dog you might just need to bite the bullet and get a new one. Trying to improve a 1500 computer with free apps is just pissing into the wind and calling it rain

Macs do what Macs do and they generally do it pretty well. Third party apps are highly unlikely to improve on the gilded prison of Apple. Good luck!
