You don't have a virus, since none exist that can run on your Mac.

yea the virus was like my last idee, i thought it unlikely
but there was no harm in trying right

Have you tried uninstalling the programs that are causing the problems with an application like CleanApp (this will delete all associated files, don't know about saved games, etc.) and then reinstalling?

Just a thought.

AppZapper, AppCleaner, TrashMe, CleanApp, and similar apps do not do a thorough job of removing all files/folders related to deleted apps. I tested several of these, using Skype as the app to be removed. Of 17 items to be removed:

AppZapper missed 13 items
AppCleaner missed 11 items
AppDelete missed 8 items
Hazel missed 9 items​

I also tested AppTrap, CleanMyMac and a few others, but don't recall how many items they missed. All left files/folders behind. In most cases, they remove .plist files and a few others, but leave behind much larger files and folders. (you will find a discussion of these tests in the thread linked below)

The only effective method for complete app removal is manual deletion:

Read the link I posted on fully deleting apps. If you use that method to search for "starcraft" after removing it with MacKeeper, I'll bet you find traces left behind that MacKeeper didn't remove.

i fixt it:
i dit a compleet re instal yet again but this time i only used time machine to restore my programs and file's.
all the presets and stuff like that, i left out and now everything is working again
