strange behaviour from my powerbook

goodVSbad said:

I've noticed some odd behaviour from my two-month old powerbook today; Mozilla froze it up and I couldn't even force a quit.
A couple of other programs were a little sketchy too...
I don't have any system maintenance programs or anything like that -- should I maybe get one??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you deleted history cache and cookies lately? Also system maintenance: Use Mac Janitor (easy way) or fun way: Finder, Applications. Utilities Terminal type (switching to root - superuser) sudo sh /etc/daily > this needs to be done /weekly (instead of daily) and monthly. again with all apps closed Also might try repair permissions. After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions. Click repair permissions

Do you have AirPort? Did you install 3.4? That has been causing issues.
