MacBook Air crawling to open any new page

My MacBook Air recently started to take a long time to load any pages. Literally it is taking 5 -10 mins for a page to load. What is going on? I have Malwarebytes running but not helping

2015 MacBook Air loading very slow MacOS Monterey 12.6.1 latest available for my 2015 mac. Safari takes a long time to load for the last 12 months or so. Also when visiting a well know newspaper site and a local neighborhood website after 5 minutes it shows "this website is using too much energy" I would like simple directions on how to remove most of the Caches, Daemon notes or whatever. I suspect I must have a virus or whatever is closing it up I Have 176 GB of memory on my 250 GB system. Have the free version of Malwarebytes scanning every time I open it with no problems shown.

Getting rid of potential Safari notification virus on MacBook Air I accidentally visited a sketchy website through Safari and now my Mac continually gives me notifications that seems to indicate they are from my System Preferences app, but clicking on them takes me BACK to the website. It's telling me I need to download McAfee because my computer is at risk— I’ve never had McAfee, and it’s not the McAfee website, so obviously a scam, right? I also got a notif that it was trying to download files from my computer, but that was only once. Anyway, so scam/virus identified as a scam/virus, but when i run my actual antivirus full scans (Norton 360), it says there is no security risk or problems detected. And yet, I keep getting these notifications directly to my software. I’ve tried rebooting the computer in Safe Mode, I’ve tried clearing my Safari history, I’ve tried putting on my actual VPN, etc. Nothing works. Does anyone know how to solve this problem and actually find and locate the malware and remove it?

possible malware on MacBook Air My MacBook Air sometimes shuts down right after I booted it up. So I searched for possible reasons and malware was one of them. Is there something reliable and recommended to use?? I am running Monterey 12.6.3.

Have you tried a restart? You offered very little detail.
