CPU/Memory problems on 2019 Macbook Air

Post by wauserfriendly »

I installed FAH about a month ago, and I'm finding it is slowing down my 2019 Macbook Air. Recently, I've had some freezing problems. Activity Manager and Etrecheck told me it was using up a lot of memory/cpu.

I couldn't find any info on how to address, but as a newbie here, I may not know where to go.

I want to stay involved, but to prevent more freeze ups, had to change the extensions on FAH app so it wouldn't load. I've learned to use the right uninstaller and I didn't see.

1) Is there technical support that can help me to get this to work? I know enough to know I can do real damage. ;)
2) If not, what's the correct way to remove this from Mac OS? (Latest version of everything).

Thanks. I accept I'm the tail trying to wag the dog. :lol: Forgive me if I'm posting it in the wrong section.

As for an uninstaller, look in the Folding@home folder in Applications.
