A friend of my wife's has asked my if I know of any programs that will clean up her mac and get it running better. I normally work on pc's so I don't have a knowledge base to turn to here. I'm hoping that someone could enlighten me with some programs that I could pass on to her as apparently it's becoming slow enough to impede her getting work done. Thanks to anyone for your time.
 
We don't know which mac model, which OS version, amount of memory....etc. while the Windows world needs and has all sorts of tools from Norton and others, you not see a huge list of tools and relatively fewer users of those tools.

There is a good chance that some of the following could improve the performance: fresh OS install, move to a newer OS, more memory, replace boot HD with an SSD.
