Why is my MacBook Pro extremely slow

Hi.


My MacBook Pro has recently began to run extremely slow. I have tried several clean up guides from you tube, but so far nothing has helped.

My battery is completely dead, so I only run with the charger connected.

I have done the etreecheck and here are the results:

Hi Japib.


Thanks for your fast reply.


I must have been around the time of the upgrade to Yosemite it started slowing down, but I have an older MAcBook which I upgraded as well and that is running fine.


I thought I had removed the Norton application, but I guess not. Could you tell me how to get rid of it completely?


I will exchange the battery and see if that does any difference.
