Running Slow: EtreCheck Report

On an older forum the EtreCheck App was recommended and it was suggested that one post the report to the forum for feedback. I am pretty clueless as to what to do now that I see so many issues. Thanks to all that help!

Hi lshaw123,

Issues/Notes:

Delete Clean My Mac and anything else "MacPaw".
Delete AVG Antivirus.
No Time Machine backup - Time Machine backup not found.
You have many System modifications

Delete the above, then run Malwarebytes. Only keep Malwarebytes.

On top of all that, you also have the very slow 5400 rpm hard drive. Using an external USB SSD will improve performance about 7 times for storage.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Jack

When I go to run the set up file it says"the developer of this app needs to update to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information "

when I hit "learn more." It takes me to a page that talks about 32 bit app compatibility with versions Sierra 10.13.4 and higher
