Okay, I need help from one of these legitimate Macbook experts. I have heard from countless people that Macbooks can never get viruses, but that statement is complete bs and the state of my Mac will prove it. My macbook freezes an lags (that annoying beach ball thingy shows up) literally every 30 seconds or so. Every time I open a new tab, click on a link, do ANYTHING it freezes and stays there for like 2 minutes, and it's pissing me off. In fact, my macbook is doing this as I am typing this right now. I want to save going to the Apple store as an absolute last resort, because my warranty expired, and also I just dont want to. Is there any virus scanner (preferably free) that can detect the most hidden trojans and spyware? Or is there another method?? PLEASE HELP, BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.
P.S. Also, when I boot my mac up, it takes like 5-10 minute just to get to the login screen.
