yes, post here.


What can EtreCheck do for you?

  • EtreCheck is a free tool that explains what is going on inside your Macintosh.
  • EtreCheck consolidates information from over 50 different diagnostics tasks and displays it all on one concise report.
  • EtreCheck can identify common problems like a failing hard drive or lack of system memory.
  • EtreCheck can remove adware.
  • Finally, even if the EtreCheck report doesn’t mean much to you, it may help someone on Apple Support Communities help you get your Macintosh back in good working order.

What does Etrecheck not do?

  • EtreCheck never asks for your password. If your password is needed to delete adware, the Finder will ask for it.
  • EtreCheck never changes any files or data on your Macintosh.
  • EtreCheck does not expose any personal information.
