MacPaw announced the release of CleanMyMac X, a new version of the company’s Mac system utility. MacPaw says it’s “faster, funner, and smarter” than the previous version, which we’ll be putting to the test. It also detects malware, which previous versions didn’t do.
CleanMyMac X New Features
From MacPaw:
What’s new in CleanMyMac X?
1) It cleans your Mac faster
According to internal tests, CleanMyMac X is 17 times faster in scanning your Mac. Also, it finds more types of system junk.2) Smart Scan overhauled
“Smart scan” now packs a triple punch — 3 main tasks grouped under one button. So it takes a single click to Clean, Protect, and Speed up your Mac.3) Now it also cleans malware
A real highlight of this version. CleanMyMac X now identifies thousands of threats and “-wares” attacking your Mac.4) The extended speedup tasks
Speedup functionality has been made smarter and more user-friendly. Hence the “Boosters” module to speed up a Mac with less action from the user.5) Personalized tips and suggestions
The “Assistant” module tells you what to delete and to update, also suggesting why exactly your Mac might be under-performing.
