Not much to see.

1. Bur you have or had, uTorrent on your mac. I strongly advise to uninstall it: it advertises your mac, it may have malware in the installer (depending on from where you downoaded uTorrent), and the items you downloaded are very probably infected. If you used it for downloading music only, the uninstall may be enough.

If you used it to download apps or tools (especially from untrusted sources), these are most likely be infected. Uninstall those apps/tools completely (most often this are Adobe apps).

After this, restart the mac, empty the Trash, and download AdwareMedic from thesafemac.com and run it.

2. After uninstalling the (Adobe) apps, in SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems remove all entries in there with the minus sign underneath.

3. You also have or had Google software installed, uninstall everything completely. If you want another browser than Safari, use Firefox, fast and safe, or use Opera (fast and safe.

4. perhaps there are other things that may be better: make a screengrab of the Applications and Utilities folders, and post these here, there may be Yosemite incompatible software.

-- in general it should already run better niw.

You should also boot into the recovery partition and select Disk Utility from the 4 option menu. Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair if necessary.

Ciao.
