Uninstall the McAfee ant-virus software by following the developer's instructions. Anti-virus software is not needed on a Mac and it usually causes more problems than it solves plus it impacts system performance.


Also if you still have problems, then disconnect all external devices.


If that does not help, then run EtreCheck and post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.


Run the Apple Diagnostics to see if any issues are found.
