One further question please. My machine is mid-2015. And I know it's getting to be that time for a new one. However I note that my Etrecheck pro report after several improvements - clearing HD space to over 200MB, etc, I only get "Good" in my performance report. I have a 1TB Apple SSD and Etrecheck says this means there's still something wrong. What could this be? Thanks.

Thank you - done.

I have another related question: While Max/MSP was not running due to too little free diskspace, I noticed in Activity Monitor that Apple's "YaraScan Service" was using 20-30% of my CPU and 6 - 34GB of my Memory (16GB). When I researched this I read that it's possible to remove YaraScan Service if other virus protection software is installed (I have Malwarebytes Premium). Do you know anything about this? https://superuser.com/questions/1337785/what-is-yarascanservice-that-shows-up-in-macos-mojave-beta-10-14-and-macos-h
