What's with CleanMyMac X?

It's "from" MacPaw, Inc.


It's in the App Store.


Is it legit?


Thanks, Tom

It's from a company that is known for shady marketing ploys. It's not necessary and may even be harmful. Do not install it on your computer. If you have installed it, remove it according to the developer's instructions.
