Hi, i have an annoying problem and wondered if anyone has the answer...
On many applications, i get the spinning beach ball for several mins, and the computer is in a "crashed" state. I have to keep force quit open in the corner of my screen now so i don't have to wait. The apps are shown as (not responding) during the spinning beach ball's spinning, and i think the computer is generally just running slow. This all just happened quite suddenly, it feels like i have a virus or something but i have done some checks and found nothing...
Some applications with problems are safari (especially on sites with java eg. eBay) , firefox, photoshop, messenger for mac, disk utility (when trying to do something about the problem)
I have tried some of the troubleshooting options in the sticky thread, but none help.
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated! thanks
