MacOptimizer 3.0
Someone at - it a good or bad experience with this application? My MacBook Pro is a version 2010 mid running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 with 8 GB of memory and it became slow lately I'm looking to improve its performance.

All observed improvements in your machine?
We do not recommend all called cleaner / optimizer applications for OSX, that more often that otherwise, they are overzealous, what they touch and remove (including the necessary system files). Start safe mode did a good job of cleaning house. The OS X Journaled file system do not fragment, so there is no call to apply any 'defragmentation '. OS X has a system of advanced management of memory that does not need substitutes memory or memory testers. And sufficient safety mechanisms are built into the operating system to prevent any need anti-virus software that works against the integrated security system and slow down the Mac or interfere with normal operation. There is no virus on Mac, but there is a growing population of malicious programs - mainly the web clicks or pops - ups designed to panic by asking an apparent Apple support number. Apple will never pop up a message telling you that's all what in in Safari, another that may inform you that Adobe Flash Player is out of date. Do not click this link even, because there is also a phishing scheme offering to download Flash. Get it from Adobe.
My tool you need is a good anti-malware tool. MalwareBytes is such a tool, written by a member of the Community Support from Apple. I installed and run periodically in preventative maintenance.
Another tool that I use from time to time is EtreCheck to display the current state of my Mac.
Periodically, your Console (Launchpad: others: Console) the error logs, or very redundant entries. Think of it as an early warning system.

See all the 'Reds' that says 'Adware '. That's your problem.
Specifically, Genieo. This piece of software can put the most powerful Mac to its knees. And they are very difficult to get people to install, you can put huge inviting green banners that just say "Download", and if you are on a page where you expect to download something, you can click on the thought of Ad you download anything you want. My wife, a very experienced programmer was taken by Genieo and he did his very powerful Mac crawl.
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (formally AdwareMedic)

And then a new analysis with EtreCheck and if you still "Adware" withdrawal indicated that.
