Q: IMac maintenance ?

Feb 9, 2015 10:21 PMby Allan Eckert,For starters don't install any third party software that claims it will cleanup, speedup or any other maintenance type tasks on your Mac. They are all worthless and the vendors lie.

You need to delete or move data from this disk drive. That is not enough free space to run OS X safely. You really should have about 10 time more then that.
You have adware, use http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-conduit/ to uninstall it.
So far I have heard bad things about PACE. It is antically software used by some software vendors. If you remove it the software that installed will stop working but it might be necessary to do that to get your Mac performing again. Then it is up to if you wish to use that software or not. Personally so far everything time I discover anything that uses PACE, I have been able to find alternate software that doesn't require it which is what I loaded instead.
