CleanMyMac 2 causing problems in Mavericks 10.9.1

So I am just advising that all people running Mavericks 10.9.1 stay away from CleanMyMac2.

Savvy Posters here suggest EVERYONE stay away from EVERY Mac Cleaning Application. They cause much more trouble than they are worth.

I think that CleanMyMac cleaned some system files. And now Preview dosn't work, App Store doesn't work...How can i fix these? Any suggestion?

thanks

Restore from your backups. That is what backups are for, or OS X installer (depending on which OS)

I've Maverick. I did it with Preview and now works, but for the App Store I've still some issues.

mpalomba3,

Compatibility issue between CleanMyMac 2 and Mavericks was fixed in CleanMyMac 2.1.0

If you still have troubles, please contact us via support@macpaw.com

I agree with you on the missing icons .. but during Automatic Cleanup, there is a thorough flushout of your system to clear space. However .. once you have done a cleanup and those precious icons disapear, you can get them all back with a reboot of your system. They will rebuild in that process. I admit that it isn't a feature I like and has only appeared in the last couple of versions, but i can assure you that it is causing no harm to apps or your system. Perhaps they are working on a solution to resolve this "unwanted" characteristic or already have.

I prefer my solution which is to avoid your crapware. It is worthless and dangerous.

I got the same Trouble, any ideas of fixing this???

New version doesn`t fix my mail app that don´t preview and crashes as other apps, doesn't?? someone that can help to restore mail app???!!

you want a test system, fine, clone it and run it under VMWare.

Want lean mean 3rdvarty free for production, stability, performance, even "good" apps like iStat might be bestnot installed, I peefer a system maintence only small system for utilities.

Even the old Panther Cach Cleaner new version, I no longer use.

you are risking and wasting your time with junkwaretoday.

cumon you guys, everybody it is talking about what not to do, well that doesn't resolve for all who already did it...does anybody know how to restore that damage?? can you talk about it?? heeeeeelp!!!

Sure. Re-Install Mac OS X. You do not need to erase your drive, just re-install right on top of the remains of your Mac OS X version.

That will put back the parts of Mac OS X that were discarded. It may not restore discarded preference files, so some additional setup may still be required on a case-by-case basis.

The hatter already answered that question:Restore from your backups.

Otherwise, nothing less than erasing your Mac and rebuilding it from the ground up will undo the effects of having used CleanMyMac.

Reinstalling OS X will not remove CleanMyMac, nor will reinstalling OS X restore the functions of other software or your own personal files that may have been affected as a result of using CleanMyMac or similarly categorized utilities.

The very premise that Macs need or can somehow benefit from "cleaning" is fundamentally flawed. The word "cleaning" is itself misleading, but deception is the only method by junk software peddlers can successfully market their worthless garbage. A product named WreckMyMac would not likely be very successful.

Thanks everybody, i restore mavericks and resolve my problems with mail, terminal and don't know what else, some apps don't work, i guess i'll need to reinstal it too one by one, don't know yet wich apps were damaged. So thanks to every one i learned a lot with your comments. know i had to take a deep research to learn how to erase and clean apps and my mac, Thanks again, you solve my trouble.

Dear All

Cleanmymac creates several issues... i have reinstalled my os 3 times and today realised that it was because of cleanmymac. Apple support has done all sort of cleaning but to no help have downloaded latest os installer and using it.

Reinstalling OS serves the purpose.
