Is there any kind duer who can help me? :hi:

1. Have you tried rebooting?

Also, there is an activity monitor in the apps which may give you some clue as to what's going on.

2. I'm not familiar with Macs

But it is possible to pick up resource-hijacking spyware/malware on one.

Have you tried the MAC Users computer forum?
