MacBook Pro fan

Has anyone ever gotten a MacBook that has software problems? I have gotten my laptop 4 months ago and the fan keeps going off non-stop. I only use my laptop for class and PowerPoints mostly. I don't even watch anything on it because it is constantly overheating. Is this normal? I had another apple laptop prior to this and I have never had overheating problems.


Thank you

Because the fan comes on does not mean the computer is overheating:

Have you received any emails or suspicious texts?



Emails will NEVER start with


”Dear Client” or “Dear Customer”


the only case Dear Customer will be the prefix is during a shipping confirmation email.



The only reason I’m asking this is because files that are malicious could have been accidentally downloaded, causing the fan to blow at full speed.
