I recently did my annual PCI compliance. In doing so I evidently agreed to the installation of Trustwave. I thought I was giving them the authority to scan my mac then, not every 5 seconds. The speed now has slowed down considerably and I am also getting the message than my storage space is getting full. How do I remove this program? It is not in the applications list but the little icon is present at the top of the screen.

It sounds like you have been scammed. Maybe if you use the program created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. It will provide a snapshot of your system which we can analyze to possibly determine the cause of your problem. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.
It sounds like you have some bad software installed. I would really like to see the EtreCheck report after hearing that.
Hopefully you have everything backed up.
You can use OmniDiskSweeper to find out which files and folders are using the most disk space.
I would love to try this but I just got back to my office this morning to see that I have less than 60MB of space now on my hard drive. Yesterday when I left I had deleted files to move from about 3GB left to almost 10GB. Somehow in the middle of the night the system programs took over the space. I am having to respond to everything on my PC right now because my Mac mini is too slow to even open Safari. Any suggestions on what to do to give myself more space so I can use the suggested program?
