Regarding anti-virus software, and how to protect yourself against malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.


However, your problems are undoubtedly not related to any kind of malware.You'll need to provide more details about what's going on for us to suggest anything specific, but you can start with my Mac Performance Guide.


Note that if you're having performance issues, you should under no circumstances add any anti-virus software until the problem is resolved, as having anti-virus software running will probably just make the problems worse.
