I am new to mac's and mine has run great for the first couple weeks but has slowed down recently. When I run a system analyzer it tells me that I have a large number of open files (more than 2500) and that high process count may degrade performance (more than 100 processes running). what can I do to resolve this issue?
"Webroot" may prove difficult to eradicate, a notorious problem with ill-conceived or poorly written software. When I installed it for testing purposes some months ago, I followed their developer's instructions to drag it to the Trash. Doing so proved ineffective in removing all its system-altering components. Since its uninstallation instructions failed, I completely erased the volume on which it was installed.
This Webroot community help forum reply dated 04-05-2015 09:38 AM states that their technical support personnel may be able to assist in removing it. I did not do that, electing instead to erase the Mac to ensure its complete eradication. Therefore the only remedial action I can recommend would be to erase that Mac and reconfigure it as I did, installing only the software you require, and omitting the junk. Let me know if you need help doing that.
I have webroot secure anywhere for security software. It has a system analyzer that is included with it
