[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1898811, member: 204485"] I would guess probably not active but EtreCheck still identifies it as an antivirus app which makes me concerned about what the various files (elements) you have found are actually capable of doing. I would trash them all and see if there is any improvement in performance. Even run EtreCheck again and see if it still detects it as an antivirus app. What Apple Support is suggesting is a "clean" instal which is not a bad idea, something I do regularly with the release of major new upgrades. Normally I would erase the HD, something that can be done more easily with Monterey on the new M1, then using a connected CCC clone previously made, just drag the items I want from the clone to the HD. It really gets rid of a lot of unnecessary garbage accumulated over years of just upgrading over the original OS but takes time. Of course as I tell everyone, you don't have to do everything in one day. A lot of your data will simply download from your iCloud, Contacts, Safari web sites, Email etc. [/QUOTE]
