I have run EtreCheckPro on my Mac that is crazy slow running finder functions. What do I do with the report? Do I just submit it here?

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
I have seen issue with VirtualBox as well
I uninstall Intego per their directions.
Clean up: Delete these files…
~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.imobie.AnyTransToolHelpers.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/Proton Mail Bridge.plist

Run fewer apps at a time.
1) The battery may need to be replaced.
2) Sequoia 15.6 is the most current macOS.

3) The Storage Drive is nearing a point where it is becoming to full to preform at full speed.

4) The Mac has not been restarted for 21 days.
Generally this is not a problem, but it will likely preform better if it is restarted weekly.
5) macOS has all of the necessary Security to keep your Mac Safe.
Third-party junk-ware like Intego, do nothing but slow down your Mac cause all sorts of problems.
My advise at this time.
Have the battery check and/or replaced.
Update to the latest Sequoia macOS 15.6 version.
Completely uninstall Intego as per the developers directions.
Restart in Safe Mode followed by a normal restart and test for a few days.

Good day!
To avoid garbling the report, when copying DO NOT highlight it first. Instead us the "Copy Report" function built into EtreCheck.
then:
I am updating to the latest Sequoia as we speak and will restart in Safe Mode and then normally and monitor for a few days. I will possibly bite the bullet for a new battery, although this is pretty much my 'desktop' unit and is plugged in 24/7/365.
oh, and the first thing I did was uninstall Intego. Thanks everyone.
I will also add a calendar reminder to restart the Mac once a week.
I adopted that name when I got my first Mac, back in 1996, an old Mac IIx (code named Spock) which was one of the retired servers where I worked. Got it for $100 and never looked back, been a Mac head ever since.

Good luck my friend.
Done, thank you. I really appreciate the time everyone has taken to offer assistance. :)
