[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1384456, member: 182015"] How much hard drive free space? MacKeeper is NOT a recommended tool. It could be slowing down your computer/may have deleted an important file(s). It is widely thought to be a Sham - does nothing of value and has caused slowdown on some computers. You should uninstall it. Loss of internet and slowdown are separate issues. For loss of connection - get iStumbler and use it to analyse how many neighbors are using the same WiFi channel and have strong signal. You can change channel on your router to reduce this problem. Please let us know what you find. [url=http://www.istumbler.net/]iStumbler 99[/url] Slowdown - besides drive free space, you can look at two things - Activity Monitor will tell you if any program/process is using all the CPU %, causing slowdown for others. Console Utility log files (look at all of them) tell you if there is some hardware or software error that is causing the system to repeatedly write an error entry, this repeating activity (like, more than ten per minute) results in slowdown for the computer.
