Hello MAGUEULE,

It is in your Login Items. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > select the current user > Login Items.


It should look something like this:

User uploaded file

Find the BitTorrent item, select it, and click the "-" button at the bottom.


However, to be honest, I doubt removing BitTorrent will help much. You are running Yosemite on an ancient hard drive. Hard drives in notebook computers like yours tend to die after 2-3 years. You seem to be on year 6. I used to replace my hard drive every two years whether it needed it or not.


Yosemite is a hybrid of iOS and OS X. It was designed for SSD drives. If you want to run Yosemite at decent speed, I suggest upgrading your RAM and replacing your old hard drive with an SSD. You should notice an immediate and dramatic improvement. See your EtreCheck report for RAM upgrade instructions.


OWC sells high-quality memory upgrades for your machine: http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=360&type=Memory

and SSD upgrades: http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=360&type=InternalDri ves

Since your old hard drive is so small, you can even get a bigger drive for a reasonable amount of money. Plus, SSDs last much longer than traditional hard drives.

Hello again MAGUEULE,

Is your EtreCheck report now showing more RAM? Perhaps you didn't have the chip fully seated in the slot.


It is possible that you could get those messages in the future, even with additional RAM. They are part of the new virtual memory system in OS X Yosemite and El Capitan. They don't indicate that anything is wrong. They system is doing what it is supposed to. It is killing inessential processes to free up memory. It just so happens that this activity is a good and persistent indicator that you don't have enough RAM for the software you are using.


You could also look at Activity Monitor's "Memory Pressure" indicator. It would report similar RAM problems. The difference is that after a few minutes, the Activity Monitor display will clear up and go green again. It can be difficult to see any memory problems because, once you have them, your system will run horribly slow. You may not even be able to bring up that Activity Monitor display. By the time it comes up, it may be all green again.


EtreCheck looks in a different place for the same information. EtreCheck may report these killed processes until your machine restarts. It just means that, at some point, you had run out of RAM. That is normal and the system is designed to handle it. However, in Yosemite and El Capitan, if you don't have an SSD, your machine will probably lock up completely as a means of "handling it". It will eventually recover and may run very slowly afterwards until you restart.
