Drive Genius 5 5.2.1

Drive Genius 5 is an essential Mac protection software that offers a variety of features and utilities designed to clean up, speed up, and protect your computer.

The main way Drive Genius protects your Mac is through its DrivePulse monitoring feature.

DrivePulse will run in the background even when the software is closed, and automate drive integrity testing and malware scans for all drives connected to the computer.
