SEATTLE, WA — (Marketwired) — 10/21/13 — Intego, a leading provider of security products built exclusively for Mac users, today announced the release of .
Intego has completely rewritten Washing Machine from the ground up, transforming it from an Internet security tool to a powerful Mac utility. It safely seeks out and removes large, unneeded files, freeing up valuable hard disk space and speeding up the operating system. Washing Machine also features tools to organize the dock and desktop, and lets users create Smart Folders for quick access to frequently used files. The result is a Mac optimized for greater efficiency.
“We made Washing Machine about efficiency, optimization and speed,” said Jeff Erwin, CEO of Intego, “because after security, this is what is most important to the Mac user.”
Intego Washing Machine 2014 comes at a great time, with Apple-s new OS X Mavericks release. Washing Machine 2014 can quickly and easily give you more disk space that the Mavericks update requires. Washing Machine 2014 and Intego-s 2013 products are all OS X Mavericks compatible.
Washing Machine performs the following tasks:
– Seeks out files the user no longer uses or needs and quickly cleans them from their machine, freeing up gigabytes of space and increasing Mac performance. These files include downloads, caches, logs and trash.
– Identifies duplicate files by analyzing the bits, and lets the user select which versions to remove. Other Mac cleaners find duplicates by using basic techniques that fail to identify all duplicates.
– A powerful OS tool, Smart Folders offer quick access to frequently used files and applications. Smart Folders can be added to finder favorites.
– Shows what apps are used the most (or least) and allows the user to quickly drag the apps to or from the dock.
– Moves files on the desktop to the appropriate finder folders or the trash.
Washing Machine-s streamlined user experience provides helpful instructions and tips. Its redesigned, easy-to-use interface lets the user explore which files, folders, caches and downloads are safe for removal before they remove them. The user can individually select files to delete or allow Washing Machine to do it for them, giving complete control over what stays and what goes.
Washing Machine 2014 is now available in English online at and will be available in other languages in early November. People can visit to sign up to be notified when Washing Machine launches in other languages.
