The Results
When the scan is complete the “Start” button will change to “Summarize”. 
Click this button to begin walking through the fixing steps. The type and number of steps that appear depend on the problems found with the scanned profiles. Examples are shown on the right --->
Profile Medic Tests
Profile Medic scans and/or fixes the following problems:
- Name parity problems (internal vs file name mismatch)
- Name parity suffix (same names other than .icc, .icm or .pf suffix on profile)
- File length mismatch - profile's internal length does not match the actual file length
- File hidden in Finder
- File not tagged as a profile in the Finder (type and creator codes) – typical for profiles that have been copied over from Windows users.
- Illegal characters in the internal name (only 7-bit ASCII characters are allowed, special symbols are illegal)
- Not a valid profile (any file not recognized as a profile)
- Data in padding area - those 181 errors in Profile First Aid
- Non-zero data in fields that are to contain only zeros.
- and others
