Problem description:
Hi,
About a week ago my Mac (MacBook Pro 15Inch Core 2 Duo running Lion 10.7.5) started slowing way down. It didn’t seem connected to anything. It started when I opened my laptop up one morning. Basically the problem is that I get hung up constantly (little spinning pinwheel) with even the smallest tasks, like dragging the cursor over the dock. I can get hung up doing almost anything in any app.
I tried some suggestions already:
1. Repairing Permissions
2. Clearing plist files
3. From the Boot Partition, repairing my drive with Disk Utility
4. Trashing unused applications
5. Clearing any Malware I could find (I think I fully killed Search Protect)
6. Clearing Caches with Cocktail app (which I then deleted)
But the problem persists. I guess I could use more RAM, and that’s what I’m guessing people might suggest. But why wouldn’t I have enough all of a sudden, even though nothing has (obviously) changed? I have 46 gigs of disk space, and currently 2 gigs of free RAM. The only strange thing I’ve noticed is a kernel-task that shows up in my Activity Monitor and takes up 2% or so of CPU. Also an EtreCheck report says 105 errors on my startup disk, which I guess could mean something really bad...?
Below is the EtreCheck report. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

Hi,
About a week ago my Mac (MacBook Pro 15Inch Core 2 Duo running Lion 10.7.5) started slowing way down. It didn’t seem connected to anything. It started when I opened my laptop up one morning. Basically the problem is that I get hung up constantly (little spinning pinwheel) with even the smallest tasks, like dragging the cursor over the dock. I can get hung up doing almost anything in any app.
I tried some suggestions already:
1. Repairing Permissions
2. Clearing plist files
3. From the Boot Partition, repairing my drive with Disk Utility
4. Trashing unused applications
5. Clearing any Malware I could find (I think I fully killed Search Protect)
6. Clearing Caches with Cocktail app (which I then deleted)
But the problem persists. I guess I could use more RAM, and that’s what I’m guessing people might suggest. But why wouldn’t I have enough all of a sudden, even though nothing has (obviously) changed? I have 46 gigs of disk space, and currently 2 gigs of free RAM. The only strange thing I’ve noticed is a kernel-task that shows up in my Activity Monitor and takes up 2% or so of CPU. Also an EtreCheck report says 105 errors on my startup disk, which I guess could mean something really bad...?
Below is the EtreCheck report. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.
