Experts:
I'm now very concerned with my mac.
I've noticed over the last few days that My battery power isn't as good as it once was and I only got the Mac just before the beginning of summer. Today I've turned on the Mac and went onto the internet (were I play www.tribalwars.net) and I noticed that my Battery power was at 13%. Next thing you know - after less than five minutes a wee "your battery needs to be recharged" message came up and I looked and saw that the Battery had fallen to a mere 8%. I played around for another two minutes and before you know it - at 8% battery power the Mac shut itself down and I had to plug the charger in. which is what I'm running on now. Also when I switched the mac back on with charger plugged in the battery had fallen from 8% - 1%. At this moment - about three to five minutes later it's at 7 percent.
I'm also noticing that sometimes - especially here - www.tribalwars.net - were' they've moved to a new server - that some sites are very slow - well slow-ish. This site, for example is slow in the sense that my typing seems to be slow-ish!
So I've come to three conclusions in which I'm hoping you experts can advise me upon.
1) I'm using my mac and I'm charging it too often - Sometimes I've to charge the Mac twice a day!!!
2) Charging my Mac while I'm using it may not be a good idea.
3) I may <Big shock and horror> have a virus... the very thing I fear.
At this moment in time after typing all this my mac battery power has risen from 7% - 12%!!! Oh, and there's what I'd describe as an "Engine sound" comming from inside the mac.
Please advise me
