Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I believe we need to proceed with an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a useful App to diagnose and identify issues, both hardware and software. It is trusted by many users. Please follow the steps outlined below:
-Jack
Please post the EtreCheck report following the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211.
Regarding the questions:
Also, delete Bitdefender.

An Aside from your issue under discussion - Profile showing Big Sur 11.2 which is way out dated. Thee is an 11.4 available to fix various bugs in earlier versions and fixes Security issue. If already installed - please disregard.
There could be a number of reasons why this is the case. I suggest that you start by running an EtreCheck report, and optionally, posting it here if you need assistance with interpreting its results. EtreCheck is a diagnostics tool that comes in very handy to troubleshoot issues like this.
Update - today I can access EtreCheckPro from either Chrome or Safari. Yesterday's scan showed Adobe Flash Player installed, hard drive slow and no Time Machine found. I uninstalled Adobe, ran Bitdefender and did a back-up on my G-Drive. Today I ran another EtreCheckPro scan with my G-drive plugged in, and scan found no major issues!
My questions
I got the free version of EtreCheckPro, downloaded and ran it, and found I had Adobe Flash Player installed on my mac, a 'security threat', so I uninstalled it and checked library for related files. I wanted to run EtreCheckPro again, to check that it was cleared, and now my computer tells me it can't be downloaded - error 47 - there is no application to open it. I tried control clicking the app in downloads folder to override security - same message comes up. What do I do? Thanks.
Report also said I had no Time Machine backup. I just ran my external hard drive, but I don't keep it plugged in. What do I need to do to have Time Machine backup? Thanks so much.
