I just got a new 15 inch mac last week, and I have one program downloaded onto it, microsoft word.

I let my sister use my Mac for about an hour or two and I guess she downloaded like 4 cd's from torrents. Everytime I try and use safari and itunes this wheel comes up.

It freezes for about a minute or two no more and usually stops my music from playing on itunes. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Download the latest version of Onyx from versiontracker.com then run the maintenance feature. I usually allow automation to do it all. It takes a few minutes but really cleans up the machine. It sounds to me as if your disk permissions have gotten a bit off. Onyx will fix that and more.
