Smith Micro offers to spring clean Macs
SOFTWARE OUTFIT Smith Micro is offering Mac users a utility tool that will let them 'spring clean' their systems.
We know, Macs are perfect, but that has not stopped Smith Micro from launching a polishing tool for the Apple operating system. Madness.
Anyone who thinks their version of the operating system isn't in a state of grace in the eyes of Steve Jobs can turn to Smith Micro's Spring Cleaning Essentials 11 software and apply some polish and a ribbon to it.
According to the firm the software will clean up machines and make them run just as they did when they came off the shelves. This means that anyone who has more applications than they need, has lost files, and has hard drives in such disorder than they look like a scarecrow's hair-do, will be able to apply a flame thrower to the overgrowth and pare it back to something approaching its original elegant simplicity.
Tools included range from personalisation gewgaws, which let users add additional toolsets, a duplicates finder that should help you remove the many, many instances of the same song in Itunes, and custom search, which presumably is a reflection on Apple's own search tools.
"Spring Cleaning Essentials offers a personalised set of tools specific to each and every Mac user's needs," said Pauline Shumake, senior product manager of the productivity and graphics group at Smith Micro Software. µ

If I had to guess it repairs permissions using disk utility. And maybe defrags the drive.
...should you buy anything from them - or when registering your apps.
Use an address that you won't mind getting hammered at least once every day by them pimping some other product.
The Macolytes need not lose faith in this new revelation. There is no contradiction in the existence of this cleaner app and the divine perfection of a Mac. All this app does is purge the corruption caused by unclean user's interaction with the divine artifact.
