mSecure is a password manager app that I downloaded from the Apple AppStore and that I have been using since 2013 on iPhone and on Mac, so I trusted Apple scans and approves all apps you can get on the AppStore, correct? I have not installed any speeder-uppers, cleaners, optimizers, or virus scanners or a VPN (at least willingly). They can be worse that running a Virus scanner, and you appear to be running TWO at once. If you launch at login and leave non-Native file sync-ers running, they scan every file non-stop, because they are ported from another Operating System, and were never enhanced to take advantage of MacOS features like the Mac File System Event Store that could tell them instantly what folders had recent changes. The way to run syncing services if you MUST use them, is to launch when ready to start saving stuff there, and quit them the Moment the files are saved. Doing either that would ruin performance in a rather remarkable way - sort of like what you are reporting. Third-party file Sync-ers such as DropBox, BackBlaze, OneDrive, or GoogleDrive can ruin performance, but are not inherently dangerous.ĪLSO, NB > there are ways to set up dropBox oneNote and similar sharing services so that everything you do is scanned, and/or everything you do is Saved to your sharing services. You should remove any and all (other than Apple built-in) virus scanners, speeder uppers, optimizers, cleaners, App deleters or VPN packages you installed yourself, or anything of that ilk. The idea that a third party, with no special knowledge of the inner workings of MacOS, can somehow find a simple way to protect your computer - that is not already being done by MacOS itself - suggests that the MacOS developers are somehow "holding out on you". I was worried when I saw Msecure in your recent downloads.īy far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners.
