| yesterday | comment | added | nohillside♦ | As Linc said: when the MBP is slow next time, open Activity Monitor, switch to the CPU tab, sort by %CPU and create a screenshot of the whole Activity Monitor window (including the graph at the bottom). Then add that to the question with an edit. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | Linc Davis | This kind of problem is rarely caused by malware on a Mac. The first step is to get rid of all antivirus software, which is worse than useless and may be contributing to the problem, if not causing it. Then launch Activity Monitor and see what processes are using the most CPU cycles during the slowdowns. | |
