"Dad what are you writing about" "I am writing about how I fixed my computer." "Are you going to tell them about Detox My Mac?" That is the conversation I had with my son after dinner this evening. Why we spoke about it is a different story, why you even knows about the Program is a different story. Not to long ago my Macbook and I were not seeing eye to eye. My portable super computer went from being a thing of perfection to nothing more then a paperweight, a very expensive paperweight. All because it had slowed down to a crawl, even opening up simple programs were becoming an issue. Like most of you my Mac was my lifeline, from work to play everything I did was on my Mac.
After one evening I had a few selected words to say about my Mac which left my kids and my wife with their jaws on the floor. I started what I thought was going to be a endless Search. I typed in a few search words and the same program kept popping up, Detox my Mac, search after search it came up. I read about it a little and finally gave into the idea.
From their site (http://detoxmymac.com/) they offer all the bells and whistles you would expect. Cleans out caches, old log files, really anything you would expect to slow down your Mac they say they can fix. My question was could they? A little more digging around and I saw that they offered a money back guarantee. Okay so I have nothing to lose other then my time. I spent the couple of bucks for the program, downloaded it and had it all setup and installed in under 10 minutes. From start to finish it was ready to go and Scan my Mac in less then 10 minutes. I now was thinking that the program was to small, did not offer the power I needed and I was going to test out their money back guarantee. Detox my Mac was ready for a system scan, once again my nature said that this should take a hour to scan. I clicked scan and got up to get a drink for the long hall ahead. Wrong again, it was done in seconds. A massive list of completely worthless files popped up, files that I had no clue what they were. Clicking the delete button had me worried. The what if idea popped up in my head….what if this does something to my Mac.
I looked at it this way, they were right about how fast it would down load, right about how fast it would install and right about how fast it would scan. I figured at this point I was wrong so many times now; it would not hurt to throw caution to the wind. I clicked delete and then it happen….perfection was back. No I am not kidding. I could see how much faster my Macbook was running. Back to fast, not just fast back to new fast. I did not think that could happen again. I had no idea just how many files, logs, fragments of information was bogging down my Mac. Every time I open a program, save a file, us anything on my Mac little bits of information were being left behind. Speeding up my Mac was the big reward, but there were others as well.
Disk space opened up, a fair amount of it, the response time for my programs picked up and I added a boat load of life to my Mac. Really I thought it was on its last legs, I was completely mistaken. Detox My Mac is smart and it scans every part of your Mac looking for different elements. A simple click and a super fast scan pilled up information on everything my System caches to my User caches. They all had little bits of information sitting in them, information that was not needed. You know the amount of space I saved just by removing the unused languages on my Mac was crazy. A vast amount of free disk space was opened up. A quick deep cleaning my Mac is more responsive, runs better and is no longer the world's most expensive paperweight.
