[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1906959, member: 38864"] You say you deleted Avast. Did you did a full and proper uninstall, or did you simply trash the app? If the latter, you have a lot more work to do. Here's Avast's own instructions on how to uninstall their software, but you may need to use an app like Find Any File or EasyFind to hunt down remnants that even their uninstaller may leave behind. [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Uninstall-Mac-Security/[/URL] If that iMac still has the original HDD, there's a fair chance that it's dying. Randy's page on slowdown solutions is fairly comprehensive and one item that I would jump straight to is do a SMART check on your drive to see what the self reporting diagnostics have to say. DriveDx is one great one that he lists, which I use also. [/QUOTE]
