[QUOTE="Faeran, post: 728651, member: 52214"] Running: Macbook Pro 15" Intel Core2 Duo 2.2GHz 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Leopard OS X 10.5.4 I don't know what in the world is going on, but starting about a week ago, my Mac started exhibiting very bad problems: -Programs would freeze for minutes at a time, most of the time ending up crashing completely -Firefox loads web pages at about 3 kb/s download speed, most of the time just timing out -Almost all programs load abysmally slow -Using Dashboard or Spaces makes the OS crash, requiring a restart -The whole OS seems unstable Needless to say, the alarm bells stated going off when I found myself saying "If only Leopard would be as stable as Vista" as I used bootcamp to switch to Vista. I've used PC's with Windows for years so I know what it looks like when a computer is infected with a virus, and Leopard doing this makes me very concerned that there may be some sort of virus dwelling in the system. Yes, I said it, horrible as that may sound, that's how it seems. I hope to god that I am wrong and just have something trivial going on. If that is the case, Someone please tell me how to fix this! I'm desperate for a solution! (Programs that crashed while trying to post this message) -Firefox (4 times just trying to get into this forum) -Safari (3 times, tried using as an alternative to Firefox to get to the forums) -MSN messenger (2 times) -iTunes (2 times) -System Preferences (Didn't know it could crash, but it is still sitting there bouncing up and down like it is trying to load) -Mail (2 times) HELP!!!! *begs* [/QUOTE]
