thanks Joe. what do I look back at disk I/O, what does that mean?

This laptop has no time machine. It's very light, email, internet, and not too much else..(occasional photo stuff, uploading images, some light photoshop/ Bridge), and it is on the icloud sharing some files with the desktop).. in short though --I'm baffled what can get a kernal to 400%!

But you recommend fixing all that launch stuff and to do that I need the paid Etracheck Pro? (really, I don't know where to find that stuff on free version the red launch servies etc..or can I? PS are sure pro is paid?, this is on their FAQ it's kind of confusing.

"EtreCheck is available in two different flavours - EtreCheck, available from Apple’s Mac App Store and EtreCheckPro, available from Etresoft directly. These two products are very similar. Both are free."



Malware Bytes, I hardly use it I have it, but what do you gain from paid version? Thanks.
