Q: Is there a program on Mac Book that periodically "cleans" the Mac, or is there a download that will do that?

You do not need any such thing.  Your Mac is self-cleaning.  Are you having a problem that leads you to ask this, or just carrying over habits from Windows?

"Self-cleaning," Tom? How does it do that? If it really does self-clean do I need to refill it with cleaning solution? Where would the solution go?

Apparently this is a feature I've never learned.

As already stated... you need no such thing... Mac OS X takes care of itself...

There is a new App in the Mac App Store called "iBoostUp" which I recommend you download and try out. There is a quick scan you can perform and it can clean up entire GBs of junk.

It's air-cleaned, hence fans.

^ If that was a joke, I'm certainly not getting it.

And, that's going to be enough to keep malware off my drive and erase unwanted files? Do I need to run WoW at highest resolution in order to raise the temp high enough for the fans to run at full speed? How often should I do that?

Ahh, another totally unnecessary "everything but the kitchen sink" cleaning tool for the Mac.  Lovely.  But they've got an attractive logo and web site, surely that must mean it's good stuff, right?

Let's give it to Thomas A Reed.  Yeah ... he won't use ... he hates everything!  (I live on Columbus Ohio ... I am risking much with this)

Actually, yes it is. It's the first respectable Mac cleaning App I've seen, and just a glance at its reviews on the App Store will show that I'm not alone.

How about you download it and give it a try? You might drop your sarcastic tone afterwards.

You mean this App

And this App?

Or maybe this App?

What makes you think it's 'respectable'
