Unfortunately you or someone that has access to your computer has made it into a mess. Mac OS was designed to be EXTREMELY secure from it's origin. It does not require antivirus, cleaning or ANY third party maintenance apps. It simply needs to be kept up-to-date. AV and cleaning apps on Mac OS create far more problems than they prevent.


Your computer has one of the worst offenders, CleanMyMac installed. This software is considered malware by most experienced users. Please locate the developers uninstall process and uninstall immediately.


You have also installed some adware, re-open your EtreCheck report and locate the area in the report to remove the adware.


After uninstalling both CMM and the adware, restart the computer in Safe Mode and then re-start normally. then create a new EtreCheck report and post it and we can re-evaluate.


Good luck.

You also have MacKeeper--worse than CleanMyMac by maybe an order of magnitude. The developers use methods approaching criminal behavior to sneak it on your computer. Please enjoy this list of articles about MacKeeper and its developers' unsavory history:

Remove Trusteer EndPoint Protection. Although a legitimate developer, Trusteer has never been able to make their online banking protection software work without mangling Mac peformance. Removal instructions:
