As most of us need — or at least want — faster Macs, Macware’s updated MacTuneUp (now up to version 7.0) can provide speed boosts for our current machines.

The software discovers and fixes problems, restores hard disk space, maximizes Internet performance, securely erases files and folders, removes unwanted apps, guts unnecessary language files, makes Macs boot faster, and more. Features of version 7.0 include:

° More in-depth and faster scanning of your Mac;
° Removal of unnecessary language files that come preloaded and take up hard drive space;
° A scheduling tool that allows for automatic cleaning of your system.

Pretty much everyone will see an improvement by utilizing macTuneUp 7.0 including users who are tired of their Mac running slow, their applications crashing frequently or those who want to take care of their Mac before they run into problems. Although macTuneUp utilizes the advances of Mountain Lion, it works to repair and speed up Macs with operating systems that go back to 10.6.8.

MacTuneUp 7.0 is available at Macware online (www.macwareinc.com/). It costs US$39.99.
