Q: Why am I getting "system installers" randomly added to my processes?
I have an early 2009, 24 inch iMac. I installed el Capitan, and about a month after, I had performance problems. I downloaded memory clean and discovered I was running out of RAM. So, I added 4 gigs of ram to bring the total to 8gb. But I was still occasionally having issues, ending up with about 400MB of RAM, even with the 8gb. I looked at my processes in Activity Monitor and discovered several "system installers" taking up many gigs of processor memory. I quit those processes, but every day or so, another "system installer" appears. Since I keep Memory Clean and Activity Monitor open, I quit those processes and I'm fine. The question is why do I keep getting these installers added to my processor memory?
iMac, iOS 10, iOS 10.11.6
