Q: My MacBook suddenly started running slow

Hello! I've had my MacBook Pro for since 2010 and it suddenly started running slow. This has been going on for a week already. I've restarted my MacBook many times and when I'm not using it I shut it down. I've tried many things to make it run faster and deleted 14k files that were mostly text documents, pictures, videos, etc. and deleted my whole iTunes library hoping it would work but nothing. I currently have 77.07 GB left but space has never been the problem since in the past I've had 10GB or to the point where I had no GB and it still ran perfectly. Two things I've noticed is that when it gets hot it starts running slow and also when I start watching videos on youtube or ones that are already in my MacBook. Last night I reset my SMC hoping it would work better and it only ran slow because of the heat but I see no change. I'm trying anything possible to fix this myself before taking it to the Apple Store and spending money on something I could've probably fixed myself.

Here's some information on my MacBook

MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 220M 256 MB

Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Please post this in a new thread, and post the link here, so that we find you quickly. This thread is too long already, and it is a bit against etiqette (mmm).
In the meantime I will have a look at it.

It now sounds somewhat personal You do not have to get CMM 2 (pay attention the new updated version appeared ages ago). If you want to continue this kind of communication, let`s do it via email, since forum has another goal.

MMM, work to do.
You have enough Ram and enough diskspace.
Your system is cripled by some softwares installed that are absolutely counterproductive and cripling your system:
1. MacKeeper has to go, one of the worst crapwares. Go to www.zeobit.com and find the MacKeeper Uninstaller there. Use it. We deal with leftovers later.
2. CleanMyMac, the same, start CleanMyMac, then in the left panel you see Uninstall. Do that. There will be leftovers, but we will take care of that after this.
3. LittleSnitch, same, Uninstall it also: click the LitlleSnitch installer file, click it, and there is a uninstall visible. Use it. We will deal with leftovers later.
After this do a restart, after the restart empty the Trash bin.
Most of your problems should be less now.
Then produce a new Etrecheck list and we will remove the leftovers and then also change a few things to make your computer run better.
Lex

EDIT1: You must also uninstall Akamai: a well known cripler also.
EDIT2: if you do not have the LittleSnitch installer file anymore, you can download it with this:

This is what macpaw says about it:

Drag CleanMyMac Classic icon from the Applications folder to the Trash.
Drag the CleanMyMac Classic folder located in the Application Support folder inside the Library folder in your home user folder to the Trash.
Drag the CleanMyMac Classic folder located in the Application Support folder inside the Library folder on your System Drive to the Trash.
Drag the com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist,com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist, andcom.macpaw.CleanMyMac.trashSizeWatcher.plist files from the LaunchAgents folder located in the Library folder in your Home user folder to the Trash.
Drag the com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.plist file from the Preferences folder located in the Library folder inside your Home user folder to the Trash.
After doing this, your copy of CleanMyMac Classic will be completely uninstalled from your Mac.===================
After this we have to remove more files, but those are not important now, we will do that later.
Adobe/Akamai writes this:
How do I remove the Akamai Download Manager?

Mac OS: Navigate to [user]/Applications/Akamai and double-click Akamai NetSession Uninstaller.

==============
That is probably not there (anymore). For now:
in Finder click the GO menu
hold the Alt(option) key, click Library in the Go menu,
in the Library folder open the LaunchAgents folder,
There you delete the
com.adobe.ARM.....
and
com.akamai....
entries.
