[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1524758, member: 182015"] Yes, you are paranoid..... sorry. Hidden files are mostly preferences and such. But, there are large parts of OS X intentionally hidden. Basically, since you don't know what's what, leave it all alone. All those things you've installed are probably the cause of the slowdown. They use system resources with Very Little positive effect. You should use the Uninstall procedure for each of them and uninstall ASAP. Another thing to consider. How much RAM do you have? [/QUOTE]
