Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Do I need to be using a product like Dr Cleaner?

Dr Cleaner is a top selling App so should I be using it?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

No one here has said that Macs are invulnerable. However, most "cleaning" programs are still worse than the malware out there.


And no, KeRanger is not a virus. It is, I believe, a trojan. It cannot be propagated from machine to machine. It is acquired by downloading compromised software.


If you want good advice that is not based on a profit motive or fear mongering, start here:
