Hi, my iMac 18,1 is only 12 months and is very slow. It beachball's all the time, apps crash and it is generally very slow to respond. I have ran an EtreCheck and my results are as follows:
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Heelo,
MacAfee is really going to slow things down especially with only 8GB of RAM these days.
Why is this in the Trash?
[Loaded] CheatSheet 6.46.59 pm (? - installed 2018-12-26)
Application
~/.Trash/CheatSheet 6.46.59 pm.app
The problem is...
Virtual Memory Information:
Physical RAM: 8 GB
Free RAM: 20 MB
See if you can reduce Login items if it's still that short on Free Ram after uninstalling MacAfee per their directions & restarting.

I of ten get 2 or 3 linefeeds when it's only one linefeed. :(
I feel your pain! I have some EtreCheck drive scores stored as text clipping,. From the Desktop they look like this:
If I copy/paste it into a forum window, I get this:
Performance:
System Load: 1.66 (1 min ago) 1.42 (5 min ago) 1.31 (15 min ago)
Nominal I/O speed: 0.23 MB/s
File system: 20.35 seconds
Write speed: 2156 MB/s
Read speed: 2863 MB/s
It's not only Etrecheck, but also things I copy from web sites. Someone must have gotten paid a bonus for adding CRs to the forum code!
Yes, but easier in other respects, searchable, can open in another tab to cut down on scrolling back & forth.
Wonder what it is about ASC's love of substitution, I of ten get 2 or 3 linefeeds when it's only one linefeed. :(
Thankyou! I have uninstalled McAfee as suggested and reinstalled Cheatsheet. (not sure why that was in my bin). So far so good.....
Thanks Again for your help
Great news, hows the Free RAM: 20 MB now?
Oh, almost forgot, please tell me how you posted the etrecheck report like that!
BD,
I've seem a half-dozen like that in the last week. Harder to read due to the character substitutions like the "Â" all over the place.
Even from Apple's own Text edit or other Apps.
