I am struggling with beachballing ...
I've run an EtreCheck report (see below) and not getting the result I really was - I have also uninstalled software that EtreCheck says is still there (Malwarebytes) - would really appreciate some suggestions 'cause the beach balling is getting crazy!!!
Thanks ...
