Q: Has my computer been infected with a virus or worm

I recently upgraded my computer to el capitan since then it has been running very slowly I cannot shutdown and firefox will no longer open.

 

2 days ago I added an app called wondershare dr done to try to restore some lost pictures from my phone.

 

Today i went to keychain access and at a specific time yesterday next to a blue @ sign lots of my passwords and web passwords for many different accounts were accessed.

 

Is this a sign that my security is at risk and what should I do.

    All Wondershare apps are ridden with all kinds of ad-/malware. You can do a quick scan with Anti-Malware for Mac (yes, it is safe) to see if it finds anything.

    Is the password thing something to worry about. I just tried to look at my twitter and my computer was set to remember it but there was a problem.

    I got in eventually.

    Your computer doesn't have a virus or a worm, but by installing Wondershare, you've opened it up to being infected malware/adware, which is an actual problem Mac users have to be vigilant about.  Follow Esquared's advice and use Malwarebytes to locate and remove any malware/adware that might currently be on your system, and then uninstall the Wondershare app following the developer's instructions.
