What is Conflict Catcher 9?

If you’ve ever been dumbfounded by the contents of your System Folder, Conflict Catcher 9 is the utility you need to bring order to chaos. Don’t let its name fool you: CC9 is useful every day — not just when your Mac goes mad.

CC9 does everything the Mac OS’s included Extension Manager does and much more. It provides an easy way to turn on or off (individually or in linked groups) anything that might cause your Mac to hiccup, freeze, or crash--including fonts, extensions, control panels and strips.

Apple Menu items, contextual menus, plugins, Location Manager modules, and startup and shut down items. Whenever possible, CC9 thoughtfully includes a description of each item’s purpose and an update URL. Especially useful is the ability to create different startup sets for specific tasks, users, and locations. We love CC9’s ability to merge old and new System Folders, which let us do a Clean Install without losing our custom preferences,

CC9 makes isolating conflicts faster and easier. New features include Conflict Assistant, which walks you through the troubleshooting process; a new option to fix all damaged files found in your System Folder; System Report (like a robust Apple System Profiler), which includes USB and FireWire device info; and Intermittent Problem Log, which tracks the state of your system to help preempt future conflicts.

The only drawback to CC9 is its price. The $29.95 upgrade is a no-brainer for legacy users, but the $79.95 retail price may prompt CC virgins to stick with the free but far-less-capable Extension Manager instead.
