Kerish Doctor 2015 — это комплексное решение для автоматического обслуживания компьютеров под управлением Windows.

Программ для очистки системы Windows существует превеликое множество. Платные, бесплатные, дешевые, дорогие, красивые, функциональные – выбирайте на любой вкус, цвет и кошелек. А вот с подобным программным обеспечением на OS X дело обстоит куда как иначе. Весь подобный софт в основном занимается очисткой дискового пространства и освобождением оперативной памяти. Плюс некоторые приятные дополнения в виде полного удаления каких-либо файлов. И делятся эти программы на два типа: CleanMyMac и все остальное. Пару раз я уже упоминал об утилитах второго типа, и те, кроме как бесплатностью, порадовать ничем особенным не могли. Но тут на глаза мне попался интересный экземпляр, речь о котором пойдет ниже.
MacBooster – программа, призванная освободить ваш Mac от лишнего мусора, различных кэшей браузеров, вредоносных файлов и оптимизировать саму операционную систему. Тут вроде все понятно и стандартно. Но заинтересовался я утилитой отнюдь не из-за функциональных отличий, а, как ни странно, из-за интерфейса.
Посмотрите на скриншоты, ничего не напоминает? Вылитый CleanMyMac с немного переработанным интерфейсом! Что ж, возможно, разработчики таким образом отдают дань почтения самому популярному продукту от MacPaw?
Для ознакомления я скачал бесплатную версию с сайта разработчиков, на основе которой и буду делать выводы об их продукте.
Очистка и ускорение – первое, что предлагает нам MacBooster. В опцию входят четыре различных режима:
– Интернет-безопасность. Призвана защитить ваш Mac от различных интернет-угроз, шпионских модулей и прочего, что может просочиться извне.
– Очистка системы. Стирает различные кэши в браузерах.
– Оптимизация системы. Освобождает оперативную память, а также призвана ускорить работу браузеров и серфинга в сети в целом.
Выделяем все пункты галочками и жмем кнопку “Поиск”. MacBooster примется выискивать в системе все то, что могло бы помешать вашей комфортной работе. И тут всплывает первое отличие (увы, без сравнений тут никуда) между обозреваемым продуктом и популярным CleanMyMac – скорость работы. То, что CMM делает буквально за минуту, MacBooster умудряется выполнять за время втрое, а то и вчетверо большее. Можно, конечно, предположить, что медленнее – значит лучше, но вряд ли. Список, который будет предоставлен по окончании сканирования, не блещет чем-то из ряда вон выходящим – все вполне стандартно. Что он там так долго ищет – загадка.
Следующий пункт меню – Увеличение производительности. Здесь MacBooster предложит вам просмотреть список процессов, которые больше всего “отъедают” оперативной памяти в системе, и служб, которые в данный момент не используются, и при необходимости завершить их. К сожалению, в списке можно только посмотреть название самой службы, а также путь до нее. А вот описания, для чего она нужна – нет. Поэтому я бы не рекомендовал неопытным пользователям выключать все подряд.
Другая интересная функция в этом меню – Режим работы. Утилита предлагает нам два режима: рабочий и игровой. Если с первым режимом все более-менее понятно, то второй может заинтересовать многих любителей поиграть на своем Mac. По заверениям разработчиков, игровой режим призван отключить все неиспользуемые службы, которые не имеют никакого отношения к играм. В частности различные анимации, которые также влияют на производительность. Только не забудьте, закончив игру, восстановить значения на стандартные, воспользовавшись соответствующей кнопкой.
Оставшиеся же инструменты достаточно стандартны: удаление приложений, оптимизация памяти, поиск дубликатов и больших файлов – все это есть в любой подобной утилите, поэтому смысла расписывать их нет.
К глубочайшему сожалению, триал-период MacBooster выполнен в лучших традициях шпионского ПО на Windows: что ни действие – то “купи”. Да и с виду приложение, как и сам сайт, не вызывает никакого доверия. Тем не менее продукт вполне легальный, каким бы подозрительным не казался изначально.
Критерием для выбора, пожалуй, вновь может стать лишь цена: 40 долларов за 1 компьютер с CleanMyMac и 600 рублей за MacBooster. Выбор, как всегда, за вами. Скачать пробную версию можно на официальном сайте разработчиков.
After using your Mac, Windows, or iOS device for some time, it tends to start slowing down. That is because of multiple errors in the registry, filling up of storage space, too much junk, and so forth.
It is difficult for you to detect all these things manually, which is why it may be necessary to install and run a utility tool. An example of such a tool is CleanMyMac.
It gets rid of junk, deletes large files, and helps you manage extensions. Though the tool is good at what it does, it is available only for Mac users. CleanMyMac is also considered one of the most expensive in its class.
Luckily, there are several alternatives you can turn to that are equally good and even perform better than CleanMyMac.
This post has 15 of the best CleanMyMac alternatives. Check them out.
