My MacBook suddenly started running slow

1. Uninstall Avast, it is crippling your mac, use the uninstaller.

2. Download AwareMedic from the famous security site thesafemac.com run it: it will remove the Spigot adware and possibly more.

3. Uninstall Google Chrome: fast but not safe and spilling resources: if you do not want Safari, use Firefox or Opera, both fast and safe.

4. Update Flashplayer.

5. Restart, empty the trash.

your mac should do better now.

5. Describe your backup structure.

6. If you post a new etrecheck list after this, I will check if everything is ok. If you are not completely satisfied, describe what is not according to your expectations.

Lex

PS: next time start a new thread

Wow thank you SO much! I did everything you said to do, and it's running like it used to! The first thing I did was uninstall avast, and that seemed to be the biggest help. Here is another run of EtreCheck! Thank you again for helping not only myself, but everyone else that you've taken the time to help as well 🙂

Lex,

First I also want to applaud you for taking the time to help other on the thread.

I'm also having the same issue with my MBP. I thought my Hard Drive was going bad and replaced it with an SSD but same issue. I've uploaded the EtreCheck results below... Please help!!

Here are my EtreCheck results:

Problem description:

My macbook pro has been running very slow for the past 6 months. I just changed my HD to an SSD drive thinking it would fix the issue but it hasn’t. Videos run behind audio, and pro app like logic are taking immense amount of memory and crashing..

Removing all Norton programs for Mac by using the RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility.

If you are still having issues, then start a new discussion topic and post a link to it back here.

The advice of MadMacs is solving all issues. Do this first.

There are a few beauty marks:

1. Flashplayer must be updated, Yosemite must be updated, when the next Yosemite update is available install it immediately.

2. In MacintoshHD->Library->InternetPlug-ins delete the two AdobePDFViewer plugins.

3. In MacintoshHD->Library->LaunchDaemons delete the AdobeSwitchboard entry.

4. Remove all entries in the LoginItems, this is explained in most threads here. Necessary to avoid memory pressure (you have only 4GB).

Then Restart. Empty the Trash.

Lex

The solution is putting in more Ram memory: 2x4GB will make the difference.

For now: remove everything from SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems with the minus sign underneath, EXCEPT for the canon IJ scanner driver.

Uninstalll Director Shockwave.

here not much to see.

I advise:

uninstall AdblockPlus extension in Safari. Install Adblock instead.

Download AdwareMedic from thesafemac.com and run it.

Uninstall the Android FileTransfer Programm (wichtig).
