Jul 25, 2015 6:18 PMby Allan Eckert,2 GB of RAM is the absolute minimum for Yosemite. It you wish to do anything with the Mac you will need to upgrade to a larger amount of RAM.
While waiting to get the RAM upgraded, reboot daily as a temporary work around.
You have a hacked Etc/hosts file. To fix it. read Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file
Uninstall CleanMyMac3. It is a worthless scam on the Mac.

The etrecheck report shows many killed applications -- prior to Yosemite these inactive programs would have been swapped out to Virtual memory (disk drive) and stayed there. With the change of trying to keep everything in RAM memory keep in mind if you max out the amount of RAM on your system and still run the same number of applications at the same time you may still a low amount of ram available.
Yosemite only uses virtual memory only for active applications (being used).
Power down is the best way to clear RAM of any stranded applications and on other sites have seen it recommended for Yosemite at least once a week or whenever you have problems.
