What can be done if spyware has infected my Mac?
If you believe your Mac has been compromised by malware, adware or spyware (not likely), you should download and run Malwarebytes.
It’s a safe and recommended utility from a trusted developer and respected ASC contributor. The application scans for adware and malware and is a popular tool among veteran users here in the Community. See if it can identify any malware you may have accidentally installed. The free version is probably all you need at this point.
Is there something going on with the Mac that makes you suspicious?

Thanks again so much. It appears that it got rid of the files that were corrupting it. Since some of the passwords were compromised, I am going to reset as many of those as I possibly can but at least the computer the Mac is working well faster. I will likely continue the subscription since there are so many tactics that hackers use to get into macs. I have a MacBook Air also so it would be wise to try to cover both of them to make sure that there are no more intrusions. Again thank you so much for the recommendation.
Thank you so much for this response. I will try this and respond later. This is very good information.
You're welcome.
Good to know you sorted this out. Take care, my friend.
