There's been some speculation about techyutils and some malware: PCVARK plays dirty - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes Labs


I suggest you uninstall all techytuils software along with the files Eric suggested you remove.


Also remove uTorrent. The sites it often access are known to include malware and adware with its downloads. I personally wouldn't let it on my Mac.


After removing all of the offending software reboot and rerun Etrecheck to make sure all have been removed. Then check the performance and see if additional RAM is still warranted for your type of use.

Hey guys

I ran Etrecheck per this thread recommendation and it found a couple of issue that I fixed. From time to time I still get the spinning beach ball so I run Etrecheck again and found a couple of Apple apps that were highlighted in red. Fixed those (sorry can't remember their names). Re-ran Etrecheck and Performance was listed as Excellent. Few days later got spinning beachballs again so ran Etrecheck again, no red highlighted issues (just the usual "killed Apple tasks - see below) and the performance was Good. Every time I run Etrecheck I get different performances even though the report is identical to the last. Sometimes it's Good, sometimes Average.

Alan

Hello,


Have you tried updating your Graphics card driver? The CUDA panel in the control panels section at the bottom (if its Nvidia GPU)


Had the same problem, mid-2012 retina macbook pro, ssd, everything maxed. Was fast even by todays standards, could run FCPX editing 4K video no problem. After Sierra update couldn't even play 4K video off of the SSD harddrive.


Realised it could no longer play 3d games and overheated instantly with Kernal_task going up to 1000%cpu (what does that even mean?). Figured graphics card was the problem. Then saw that my GPU driver was wildly out of date. Always figured it updated automatically but obviously not. Maybe previous MacOS updates worked with the out of date driver I was running but Sierra didn't. Just a conjecture.


Anyway tried all the standard fixes and nothing worked, only after updating that Cuda control panel did it suddenly work again. I suppose it could be some other problem (I am not computer literate) but that was the sequence of events.

Back up your Mac if you have not done so already. To learn how to do that please read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/. To learn how to use Time Machine read Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.


Then, shut down your Mac and restart it in "Safe Mode". To learn how to do that please read: Try safe mode if your Mac doesn't finish starting up. Compare how your Mac works in Safe Mode to how it has been.


Then, restart normally. If the same problem returns, please read the section If an issue doesn't happen in safe mode for Apple's recommended actions.


Finally, you can temporarily create a new User Account, and log in to that account to determine if the problem also exists when logged in to that Account. To learn how to do that read How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support. When you are finished troubleshooting, you can remove the temporary User Account by following these instructions: OS X El Capitan: Delete a user. Before removing it, confirm you don't need any of the files you might have created in that Account.


Let me know what you determine.

Uninstall CleanMyMac3. It's considered akin to maleware around here. Follow the developer's instructions to uninstall. Also, as Illaass recommended uninstall the Sophos A/V software. It's absolutely not needed on Macs and can compromise performance. Again, get the developer's instructions for uninstalling.


Also remove the adware that was found:
