Firstly, don't be fooled by the name - *Lion Cache Cleaner* works on OS X
from Panther upwards. The developers seem to have a confusing habit of
changing the name with every new release of OS X. It's also much more than
just a cache cleaner which makes Lion Cache Cleaner in the running for surely
one of the most misleadingly named applications ever! Lion Cache Cleaner is a
one stop solution for a range of OS X maintenance needs. It works on both
Intel and PPC Macs using Panther or above. It even extends to virus scanning
of internet downloads although this can be extremely slow. What we really
liked about Lion Cache Cleaner is that it can repair permissions
automatically after software installations - very useful for someone like me
that installs and tests a lot of software. As the name suggests, you can
obviously flush several caches at once, language localization files and other
useless data. I'm always a bit wary of programs that claim to optimize RAM as
this is something that can make your system terribly unstable if done badly
but you can run Lion Cache Cleaner in Single User Mode to avoid crashing your
entire machine in one go. We also liked the fact that you can instantly see
the login items on your Mac which can reveal erroneous entries that may be
slowing down your startups. On the downside, Lion Cache Cleaner leaves behind
the package receipt and . plist file when uninstalled and the overall
interface, while easy to use, is very dated. *Despite the confusing name,
rest assured that Lion Cache Cleaner works from Panther upwards and is a
lightweight, easy to use and effective way to maintain your system.*Download
