[QUOTE="mafocari, post: 1906863, member: 407922"] Uh oh, another thread sidetracking into Avast hate 😆 I don't like Avast either, but if someone says they uninstalled Avast and nothing changed, that's not a reason to post about how bad Avast is 🤣 I appreciate the recommendation though; I'll try the "full uninstall" of Avast to see if that changes anything... but I didn't think Apple would have performance problems from an uninstalled Avast, because nothing from it should continue to run, right?! If so, I'd consider that an Apple security issue. > I think the issue is poor Apple software driver responsiveness handling or logic with external trackpads. >> That sounds highly unlikely. It just isn't a complaint that anyone ever has. Why do you think that's unlikely? It seems most likely. Note that I'm not an Apple fanboy, though I don't jump to blaming Apple first either; so I hope you're not in the Apple fanboy camp (as in, being often highly doubtful that a problem is caused by Apple), because that can too easily close avenues of solutions. I don't think the trackpad is broken, though I'm open to the possibility that there's a software/hardware design or implementation (even manufacturing) flaw... is that a possibility for you or do you doubt that? I look at Activity Monitor whenever there's a performance issue I can't identify; there's been nothing in there that's been unusual for this issue. Things seem to be working fine today however, so maybe the issue went away. [/QUOTE]
