Hello. My issue is that there is actually air coming out from my mac at the back. It is also kind of noisy. I also observed that my mac runs a little bit slower than it used to. This thing happened rarely in the past, but now it is an everyday problem.
What does this mean and what should I do?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
There might be an incompatible Application installed, Anti Virus software installed or just a runaway process using a lot of CPU and Memory. Open the Activity Monitor >> View >> View ALL processes. Check in the CPU Tab for unusually high CPU usage by process name and do the same for Memory Tab. This will help identify what is causing the Hot Air and Fans issue.
Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Defrag, VPNs etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation. The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.
There are no known Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS. There are Malware and Adware that does affect macOS and are often times downloaded as part of an Application from Third Party UnTrusted Site and get installed along with the Application.
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.

Also, Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
This will help us know if there is some software that may using too many resources and causing your mac to heat up, which will make the fans run faster, and the processor run slower to avoid overheating.
