Customer Review: Disk doctor, defregamentation, virus help
Summary: 5 Stars

As with most Mac software, this was easy to install and relatively easy to use. But be careful. With the new Mac OS X versions, you need to install the "classic" version protection as well. And unless you use the CD as the start up disk, you will get an error when you try to run the programs and you'll get no help.

That said, if you read the "read Me" file, you'll know better. Starting up the Mac properly (from the CD; holding down the 'C' key), I ran the disk doctor, the speed disk optimizer and the virus program with no fuss, no muss. Run the disk doctor first, before you optimize. The doctor made some quick fixes, the optimization program cleared up a severely fragmented hard disk drive, and the virus software detected and repaired numerous if previously undetected or noticed viruses. You should sit and watch the disk doctor program run through its paces as it offers fixes you need to approve before it makes its recommended changes. The optimization process takes perhaps a twenty to thirty minutes but can be run unaccompanied. The virus program found and fixed problems on its own. There are live updates for virus protection available for those who register and sign on. I'll get there later; in my experience Macs get few viruses and if you practice "safe mail" (throw out unsolicited or unknown source mail), I have been without virus problesm of note in my fifteen years on Macs. But, like he said in Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there."

Finished with this, there was no immediate acceleration or noticeable difference in the speed or efficiency of my somewhat dated, iMac (333 MgH) although I work now with a much greater sense of confidence that my disks and files are safe and in order. This is an insurance and peace of mind package for me. I don't use the high-end, file recovery programs. Let's hope I won't need them, either.

For the upgrade rebate offer, make sure you keep the packaging and hope you can locate your old version of the software or a receipt. The rebate can cut the price by $[money].
