[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1756454, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums Melissa. Four things stand out (aside from not having enough memory): 1. You have installed "Genieo" (It's malware.) 2. You have installed "Mackeeper" (It's malware.) 3. You have other "adware" installed. 4. You have a Kickstarter plugin. All the above are things that can and will slow down your Mac. My advice is to wipe your 2010 MacBook Pro clean, reinstall OS X and start over. Preserve whatever data and applications that you can. Making a backup will only backup the malware and adware in addtion to your other data. If you need more help with any of this, please post back. [/QUOTE]
