Trend Micro is an established name in the IT industry, the Japan-based company having built its name over the course of three decades already.Dr. Cleaner is its Mac optimization app and has been available on the App Store since the end of 2014, seeking to serve a growing market of Apple fans looking for ways to optimize their computers performance, monitor their system, and clean it of junk.The market is getting crowded, though, and developers are having a hard time coming up with attractive new features to pack into software, but Trend Micros vast experience has yet again proven to be helpful.
![]() By providing instant live chat with Dr. Cleaner Pro users, the apps usefulness increased since this way youre counting on a real person a professional developer even to address any technical problems that users might face while using the app. Its certainly an interesting addition to the market that might give a reason to explore the service deeper. Features Its kind of confusing to begin with because Dr. Cleaner can be downloaded from two sources, and which of the two versions will be installed is dependent on where it is taken from. Dr Cleaner Pro Mojave Free Version OfThe free version of Dr. Cleaner is available from the Mac App Store, while the Pro version with a promising feature set is available from a dedicated site. There are several reasons to opt for the Pro version, though. The feature set is much more promising with this version as otherwise the duplicate files finder and the Intelligent App Manager are limited to only scanning the users account in the free version. The file shredder is limited to the Pro version, as is the unique live support tool and additional customization preferences such as duplicates, whitelists, and auto select. Home Directory System Optimizer Preferences Confirm Home Directory System Optimizer Scanning Preferences After confirming the users home directory, first launching Dr. Cleaner Pro by Trend Micro will automatically display the System Optimizer window, presenting clean, easy-to-understand visual information about the Macs current status. The information is divided into three main columns: one for the memory usage; another for the amount of space that junk files are occupying; and the third for CPU and network usage. Cleaning Dr. Cleaner for Mac provides a simple and quick way to remove junk from the computer, you just need to click on the Clean button displayed in the system optimizer window. Doing so will empty any Mail cache files, clear away application logs and caches, and delete iTunes temporary files in an instant. Hitting the System Optimizer button, however, provides a much deeper level of cleaning: deleting unneeded junk files, system files, large files, duplicate files, apps, and app files. Junk Files Scanning Junk Files Scan Scanning Results To do so Dr. Cleaner opens the main app window and clearly displays each of these functions in a column on the left with the corresponding action button on the right, with a nice animation signaling the scanning process. At this point Dr. Cleaner will neatly display the files its flagged for removal, which can then be selected by yourself before deletion. During our testing the scanning processes for both junk and big files were underwhelming: Dr. Cleaner simply wasnt able to identify a huge chunk of cache files that had piled up from using Spotify. That doesnt make too much sense because the app was otherwise able to detect this junk data using the app manager function, and Spotify wasnt an app requiring admin access. The scan results for big files were poor compared to its competitors findings. Thats not what youd expect from a paid Mac optimization software. Utilities There are a number of utilities available with Dr. Cleaner Pro by Trend Micro, such as the useful Disk Map function. By selecting a folder and using the associated graphical information, the app will help you spot which files are taking up space in that specific folder that can then be removed. ![]()
