How can I tell if my Mac has been hacked v10.10.5

In "Force Quit Window" there was a line flashing in and out very rapidly that was something like: txt applekit..{code

I have a Mac Book Pro (2013) v10.10.5 with all updates loaded.  My laptop was running a little slow....freezing up for short periods of time when saving a document or working in Photoshop. I moved a lot of my large video files to a backup drive to ensure I have plenty of space. After rebooting, I only had Chrome and Photoshop, and Finder running. In FINDER, I clicked FILE/ NEW FINDER WINDOW and saw the Apple "Spinning rainbow wheel" for over 30 seconds while waiting for a new Finder window to open.

Growing impatient, I clicked on the Apple icon then "Force Quit". In the Force Quit window I saw the three apps running but also saw a red text line popping in, then disappearing a couple of times very quickly. I tried to grab a screenshot but couldn't.  The only thing I could catch was something like .txt applekit..{code and that's all I could catch. I disconnected from the internet and it stopped.

Do you have any reason to believe your mac is hacked?

Have you installed any suspicious software recently?

Do you have someone with access to your mac who might install something without your knowledge (which requires them to have an administrative password and access to the system)

outside of that are you running any type of Mac Anti-Virus. If so most, if not all offering have been cited on these forums as points of failure on the Mac and in many, if not all cases removal of them restores system functionality and response. Reputable AV companies will post instructions to remove their products. At this time there are no known Mac Virus in the wild, meaning no securities lab in the world has posted any findings of a Mac virus that has shown up on the internet at this time, please do not confuse this statement with the absurdity of "macs can't get viruses.", what I'm saying is "they don't appear to have one yet, and mac AV is not nearly as flexible as it's windows counterpart and has been known to cause serious problems and not offer much of any protection"

secondly are you running any 3rd party system utility or network utility, again, these products are know to cause problem and are not only needed they commonly conflict with OS X, remove them from your system.

If you are unsure of what you are running please post an etrecheck report for the volunteers here to look further as to what your system is running, This report does not contain any personal or confidential information. the software was developed by a long time member of this forum with the primary purpose of helping mac users isolate a problem with their system and has had great success in doing this, an overwhelming majority of posts where it was asked attest to that.

Garmin informed me the tech which helped with a garmin update was a scam. The tech got control of my computer for about 5 minutes before I shut It down.

You should erase and reformat your hard drive, then restore your computer from a backup made prior to when you allowed them access. Change your passwords and other critical information also. You don't know what software might have been installed.
