*OnyX *is a simple but incredibly powerful maintenance and optimization tool
for OS X. Note that this version is only for Panther. There are alternative
downloads for other versions of OS X. Onyx is completely free and will help
you keep your Mac clean and in perfect running order. The first time you run
OnyX it'll verify S.M.A.R.T status of your disk to prevent failure and
analyze the structure of your volume. Every action is well explained and OnyX
also includes a help guide for anything you're not sure. OnyX allows you to
set a number of parameters to check including Dock, Exposé, iTunes and
Spotlight. It is most effective at fully cleaning your files including
system, user and fonts. You'll have to make sure all other applications are
closed to allow it to perform all the tasks it needs to do. The automation
section in OnyX will let you maintain, rebuild and clean your drive.
Obviously, some of these operations will take some time to perform. However
you should see some notable improvements in the way your Mac runs afterwards.
The only downside to Onyx is the overall interface which is very basic but
it's a minor drawback to an excellent app. *OnyX is a very handy application
to have around. It'll ensure your Mac is always clean and tidy. And best of
all, it's completely free.*Download *Onyx for Panther 1.5.3* in Softonic
