I have scanned my Mac with Etre Check Pro. And there where some things that it dragged above water. including Kernel panics and system extension blocked. And some minor issues that I want fixed. If you are able to help me I would be very happy. The report:
Your report points to a few clear troublemakers. Avast should be fully removed — it’s known to cause kernel panics on newer macOS. The OBS Virtual Camera extension is blocked; either approve it in System Settings → Privacy & Security or uninstall OBS. The “Mac Mouse Fix” app is crashing constantly and runs from Downloads — delete it or reinstall a proper version into Applications. Also clean up leftover launch agents/daemons (old Canon, WIBUKey, VirtualBox, Spotify launcher).
After cleanup, reset NVRAM and SMC, then boot once in Safe Mode to see if the panics stop. If they do, it’s almost certainly the third-party stuff. If not, run Apple Diagnostics (hold D at startup) to check hardware.
Most of your minor issues (Spotlight high CPU, APFSd spikes, Time Machine limited) are normal right after a big system upgrade and usually settle in a day or two. Battery cycles are high but still “Normal.”
In short: remove Avast and old background junk, fix or delete crashing/blocked extensions, reset NVRAM/SMC, test in Safe Mode. That’s the cleanest path to stop the kernel panics.

Were there specific symptoms you observed that led to to run EtreCheck? Other than Avast, I do not see much ekse,
This is suspect:
Configuration Files:
/etc/hosts - Count: 7
That might contribute, but hard to say without knowing symptoms you observed. See this recently-updated user tip on the subject from Etrecheck's developer:
Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file - Apple Community
I don't know what this program is – but it seems to crash a lot: 30 times in the past 60 days.

and how do I find the files that are leftovers of Avast? And the files f WIBUkey, and Spotify launcher. ooh yeah and question if I delete Spotify launcher wil I still be able to lance Spotify? because I use that app a lot
do you know someone that knows this problem? And yes I noticed that to. Mac Mouse Fix is an app that I downloaded it really is a life changer.
Can someone help me fix my Mac?
