Dump Windows, move to Apple, and you won't need it.

If he is price-conscious enough to worry about a utility program, he may not be inetersted in getting new hardware and Mac versions of all software, if equivalents are even available.

For the record, I like Macs just fine, but they are not for everyone. I have owned numerous Macs going back to the Plus, was on the original waitlist at U of Chicago for a 128K original Mac (couldn't afford the $1,159 student price (which wouldn't even include an Imagewriter), and worked for three years as a Mac administrator in a New England college.

The one thing about the Mac product that puzzles me is how to right click on anything? My old Dell desktop, now frozen at XP, is simpler to navigate at that level.

I used windows for about 30 years, and just about the whole time, my fellow military members, mostly pilots in the air traffic control towers acting as Supervisors of Flying, were telling me, in the long run MAC is cheaper.
Of course I didn't believe them.
After I retired out of the USAF and after 5 years with the F.A.A. I finally decided that an Apple was worth giving a try.
It was only about a $100.00 more for the I-Mac at the BX and I had the funds at that time.

It's been about 16 years now that I've been using Apple, and after I compare the cost of virus programs, updates and O.S. updates, I have come to realize the hard cold fact that ... all those years, my military friends were telling me the truth.

You either pay up front .... or ... you pay in the long run.
And in the long run, Windows is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE !
