I have a 2011 15" MBP. I upgraded the RAM to 8GB and have a 750GB HDD. Over the past few months I have noticed that the machine has slowed in its performance. I get beach balls constantly, even when closing programs. iPhoto takes a long time to load and beach balls when I open and close out. Also Safari will freeze on websites and/ or take a long time to load. I have not downloaded anything suspicious that I know of, but my wife uses my computer and there is no telling what she may have done but I doubt she downloaded anything.
My question...is there something I can do to maximize performance? Is there a way to check for rogue software? I have read several posts saying there is no need, and some that recommend scanner software for Mac.
Any suggestions?
