I've had a macbook for three or four years now, and recently its been running very slowly. Applications often take forever to load or completely quit. I don't think it's a memory issue, because I still have over 60 gb of free memory. I once got an error message while restarting my computer, saying it was having difficulty setting up and needed some extra time before it finally turned on. After noticing that a site I was on was connecting to a connection I heard was malware in disguise, called b.scorecardresearch.com, and got worried that a virus might be responsible. I downloaded symantec endpoint protection from my colleges website, and after three slow days it turned up no viruses. I downloaded chkrootkit to check for keyloggers, but it simply shows me "need root privileges" and I have no idea what that means or how to work it. I downloaded a demo of Little Snitch from apples site, which lets me know what is trying to connect to my computer, but I have no idea what to block and what not to block.
What would you all recommend as a good next course of action?
