Den.Thed is 100% correct, none. Mac OS is extremely secure and does not benefit from nor require ANY third party antivirus, cleaning or any other type of "maintenance" apps in order to run well. If simply kept up-to-date and otherwise left alone most users enjoy many years of trouble free use. When users start introducing antivirus, cleaning and other types of "maintenance" apps that is when Mac OS becomes unstable and slow.
