HI EVERYONE.
I USING MAC G4 OS9.2 AND A WANT TO INSTALL ANY PROGRAM WHICH CHECKING SYSTEM AND MAKING CORRECTIONS - FIXING PROBLEMS. I HAVE VIREX BUT IS ONLY DOING VIRUS CHECK NOT SYSTEM.
ACTUALY WHAT PROGRAM DOING DEFRAGMENTATION IN MAC OR SIMILAR THING WHAT AD-AWARE DOING TO PCs.
 
Disk first Aid is similar to scandisk on PCs. Macs have no spyware, so you are safe there, Norton's Speed Disk can defrag a mac, but there is little need for it, HFS+ is usually less fragmented than FAT32.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
 
If you move to OS X then I would highly recommend

and their program Onyx,

it optimizes, cleans & much much more besides. Which is important when your Mac is NOT switched on and running the whole time as you need to consider maintenance, and that's where Onyx from titanium.free.fr comes in.

I also have a Sawtooth G4 Powermac that I picked up secondhand. My first Mac. Brilliant, I changed the memory up to 1 GB, changed the Graphics board. Dumped OS 9 and installed OS X.

FOR OS9

Here is a great resource for searching problems and solutions.
