One further question please. My machine is mid-2015. And I know it's getting to be that time for a new one. However I note that my Etrecheck pro report after several improvements - clearing HD space to over 200MB, etc, I only get "Good" in my performance report. I have a 1TB Apple SSD and Etrecheck says this means there's still something wrong. What could this be? Thanks.

We use VPN to stream a Netflix movie if we can't access it in Canada. If that's the problem I can uninstall it. Would it help if I reinstall it on an external?

Activity Monitor shows Acrobat Pro DC as highest with 20-75% CPU - until I run Max/MSP which then shows as below:

Thank you - done.

I have another related question: While Max/MSP was not running due to too little free diskspace, I noticed in Activity Monitor that Apple's "YaraScan Service" was using 20-30% of my CPU and 6 - 34GB of my Memory (16GB). When I researched this I read that it's possible to remove YaraScan Service if other virus protection software is installed (I have Malwarebytes Premium). Do you know anything about this? https://superuser.com/questions/1337785/what-is-yarascanservice-that-shows-up-in-macos-mojave-beta-10-14-and-macos-h

DiskWarrior is a great utility, but it looks like you have a Preview version of it. I would contact Alsoft and ask them how to safely remove it. Unless you are a beta tester, never use a preview version of anything on a production machine.
