Hi this is my first post. I'm still quite new to having a mac, around a month. I bought a mid 2012 15". I've upgraded to 16 gb of corsair ram and last week to a 1tb ssd from crucial.
For most of the week the laptop has frozen while browsing, either when going between or opening tabs in any browser or when streaming video.
As of yesterday I've noticed the fans spinning harder for a few min then they settle. I've been doing some research, and removed clean my mac but there is one entry showing up that i cant find. It still shows multiple antivirus software. Not sure what I meant to use regarding antivirus. I come from windows so i'm still breaking habits.
I ran EtreCheckPro and pasted the report below. This the second report I've run. I removed Sophos antivirus as well as CleanMyMac. Also updated VirtualBox. The report is still showing that I have multiple antivirus and there is still an entry for CleanMyMac
Any help would be appreciated.
