Sorry to bother, I read the answer about upgrading memory for imac 5.1 2 GHz Intel core 2 duo.2006/7. Wisdom: even pair upgrade, maximum would be 3 GB for this one. But: how is performing 2x2 GB upgrade? What turns out to be 'greatest wisdom"?
Also, other problem, what can I do about "Throttling respawn, will start in seconds? And this is an endless message. :\What does it mean and how to fix?

It always best to use two modules of the same size and type. Installing 2 x 2 GB modules will work best even though the machine will only recognize 3 GB. As for the message you're getting, I have no idea what it is.

Way... way too many specs to list.
It's a daemon attempting to start, which one ... Since you have not posted the entire error, not a clue.

Uninstall the Clean My Mac application as it's probably doing more harm than good. Use their uninstall instructions - do not drag it to the Trash. The only maintenance and cleanup tool we recommend is OnyX. Free download from here. LINK

Thanks a lot for your help! I deleted ClamXav with instructions from your site. And installed OnyX. And upgraded my mac with 2x2 GB.
Silly thing is console is still warning me the same message:
(wont clean hanneke....because disk image; Cleanmachelper tool exited. com.macpaw.cleanmymac.volumewatcher. will start in 10 seconds).
Hope she/he will be much faster, dont know for yet.
Thanks again for the very quick help!

That's because you ignored what we said to do and did something else. We told you to uninstall the program CleanMyMac, and you then deleted ClamXav which we did not say to delete.

Problem was: month ago I deleted That program, putting it in trash. I couldn't find the uninstall program, some 'stuff' still was there, so I tried what you recommended. What else could I have done? And can I do...? Just ignore that message of throttling and the rest of messages?

Anyway, my mac is running now like a rabbitt. Was easy to put in the 2x2 GB in my mac.
But...am an ignoring maclover, and ready if possible to understand a bit more about those incomprehensible things. Switcher hangout......

That is no way to delete the crapware CleanMyMac. You may have to download again to get the uninstaller. A tool such as AppDelete or may help.

Have been blushing a long while; did inverse clamxav and cleanmymac and for being straightforward, did both. Unbelievable, I didn't see the letters.
Now, appcleaner did his work, clamxav installed again, no trace of cleanmymac.
But really I am very gratefull that in spite of doing stupid things, you didn't let go me down.
:D
