Great release, it now even doesn't need to be installed before you install another app. It looks which files are being changed/created by what app in the background, that's quite different from other AppZapper-like-uninstallers, which most of the time are Spotlight with another UI. Ofcourse it needs more CPU than
In my case the CPU-problems are completely solved.
I've been using this program for several years now, without any problems. It's a secure program and very easy to use. The developer is also very responsive and has quite some experience with security.
I don't understand the post below. These updates had nothing to do with security. Don't write a review after testing an app for a few minutes, just place a comment.
I've upgraded to Leopard Cache Cleaner, but while all reviews of Tiger Cache Cleaner and the versions before seem to have gone to Leopard Cache Cleaner, I thought it would be fair to write this mini review.
Tiger Cache Cleaner always worked great for me (as did Panther Cache Cleaner and Jaguar Cache Cleaner). It was able to solve strange things in the past, when I had almost given up hope to get it solved. Thanks.
While I dislike the price and especially the fact they want subscription-money every year for some service-updates (trojan-information I think), I still love NetBarrier.
I now use it for several years and now with Leopard, I still get updates for NetBarrier X4 and it works perfectly. I thought Leopard would break NetBarrier X4 and they would ask me to pay for NetBarrier X5, but X4 does work in Leopard. Thank you for that Intego!
I still didn't renew the service-update subscription, but I believe NetBarrier X4 can do without it. I also use a hardware firewall in my router, so I'm quite safe, I think. :-)
I know there are other firewalls as well, but as long as NetBarrier X4 works, I stay.
There are a lot applications like this that do delete files that belong to a program, but do not find all the related files.
Most applications like AppCleaner (AppZapper, etc.) are searching for names that are related to the program, but always after the programs are installed. They have no idea what invisible files or files with complete other names might belong to those programs.
Only applications that monitor your Mac constantly might find all related files. The only program doing this is CleanApp.
Uninstaller and Yank can find files belonging to programs too, but they use other methods and well, I find CleanApp much easier to use and it still does find more files.
Remember that CleanApp must be installed and the registrationservice must be activated before any installation of a program you want to remove. CleanApp is not able to find related files that are already installed, before CleanApp is installed and activated.
I hope that more applications like AppCleaner (which looks very nice), AppZapper etc. will follow CleanApp in finding more files and better cleaning, because that's what they promise and do less 'Spotlight'-searching... :-)
