i downloaded something i didn't mean to and i accidentally let it have access to my computer
ever since i downloaded it i have been experiencing a ton of lag on my comp, sometimes spurts of 5-10 minutes where i can barely click or type anything because it's so laggy
i've also noticed there are ads on google that aren't being blocked by adblock, and sometimes when i click something a new window pops up with "download mackeeper" (mackeeper is a known mac virus)
it really sucks and i don't know what to do

delete the file. also you should download windows security stuff, or if you have enough money to purchase memberships for security like kaspersky and norton.

>i have the same thing happen on roblox but shorter
don't even get me started
if i'm lagging bad in a roblox game, i can't even type at ALL (this isn't because of what i downloaded, this has always happened ever since i got my mac in 2011)
if i'm trying to type something like "good job dude"
it will probably come out like "gd bdue"

i'm currently downloading a mac antivirus software called "sophos" i did a quick google search and figured out it is safe and effective, so hopefully it'll work

then mac just might be slow
do you have too many downloaded programs and/or too much used space?
i had/have the same thing but i don't lag in games i freeze in chrome several times and windows stops responding

don't get me right i definitely have a 3 year old, outdated mac that i wish i could throw across the room because all macs are useless and awful
but i have NEVER experienced this kind of browser lag, as well as the excessive amount of ads that occur now when they didn't before i downloaded it
