Macbook pro restarts randomly

Hi I’m using a MacBook Pro 15” late 2011. It restarts randomly for the past few months, I tried replaced the battery but it happens much less, only randomly and when I fresh-open Firefox or iMovie (but not always). Here’s the results from EtreCheck, thank you for any suggestion! (I was using iMovie without rendering while running EtreCheck)

EtreCheck version: 4.1 (4A162)

Report generated: 2018-03-03 10:12:56

Download EtreCheck from https://etrecheck.com

Performance: Poor


Problem: Computer is restarting


Major Issues:

Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention.


No Time Machine backup - Time Machine backup not found.

Proxies - Network proxies detected. This could be evidence of malware.

Adware - Adware detected.

Poor performance - EtreCheck report took over 10 minutes to run. This is very unusual.

Minor Issues:

These issues do not need immediate attention but they may indicate future problems.
