I very much like Diskwarrior

Now using plus optimizer for defrag

For extensions - duh... extensions manager.  You can avoid having a ton 
of third party extension if you clean install OS upgrades - drag needed 
extensions into the new system folder. No need for CC or any other 
startup product.

for virus - there is not a lot to worry about - turn off autoplay in QT 
(this may have been fixed. Do NOT use MS internet product - lots of 
holes there. I could be wrong but I don't think that it is even 
possible to remote hack OS9.

That said, I am not sure of the situation in OSX - Apple is pretty much 
on the ball with security updates - checking in with their updater 
periodically does the job.

  Diskwarrior works fine but needs to be booted from OS9. Extension 
problems are obsolete.
