Need help deciphering Etresoft report to fix incredibly slow Macbook Air

I notice that you are using 3GB of Swap. If you go into Activity Monitor's Memory tab, I'm guessing it will show something similar for Compressed memory as well. This indicates you don't have enough memory for all the apps & workloads you are doing at the time even if the Memory Pressure graph is green. If the Memory Pressure graph is yellow, it indicates you are running low on memory and if it is red, you definitely don't have enough memory for the tasks you are currently performing. The only thing you can do is to close some apps to free up more memory.

Unfortunately your laptop and almost all current Apple computer models are unable to have memory upgrades added after purchase, so your only option is to close apps when you run an app or taks which needs lots of memory. The only other option would be to purchase another computer with enough memory for your tasks.

Here's a list of suggestions you should try:

• Boot your Mac in Safe Mode and see if things run any faster. Note this takes a few minutes to load, so be patient: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support. Then reboot normally after you've checked things out.
• To stop those annoying popups about viruses, etc: Turn off notifications for an app or website on Mac - Apple Support

I'd also ask if you need TeamViewer and GoToMeeting for work? If not, you can uninstall both those apps, as they're running in the background.

Do you need TeamViewer and GoToMeeting on your Mac for work purposes?

And I didn't answer your question. . . I didn't even know I had TeamViewer or GoToMeeting on my computer, so I definitely don't need them. Thanks again!!

One more thing. . . I just tried to open TeamViewer to uninstall it and got this message..."The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information." I can't get it to open, do I have to update the app first to be able to uninstall it?

That's probably the best means of deleting it, I'm afraid.

Glad to have helped. Let us know if your issues have improved, as others may have additional suggestions.
