So the other day I did a software update, ever since then my macbook has been on the fritz. When trying to watch netflix especially. It runs slow, gives me the color wheel/beach ball and freezes. What can I do about this?

Tell us which software update? Also, it's possible that your MacBook is in need of some cleanup maintenance. The best free program for that is OnyX which you can download from here.

I third the Onyx suggestion - make sure you download the correct version to match your version of OS X.
