[QUOTE="jerryoster, post: 1626195, member: 337078"] Just an update: I have removed both Norton and MacKeeper, and so far all is well. I have searched around and found that the version of Norton Security Suite that Comcast provides has had compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10. Other users have reported reboots, locked computers, and kernel errors. I called Comcast and they acknowledged that there was an issue. (Of course no one notified anyone about it.) Norton is apparently working on a Mac OS X Yosemite workable version, although I might just take the advice here and skip the entire idea of installing Norton again. As to the last message above, I have a 2011 iMac, and had some hardware issues that were eventually traced to a video card (Radeon) known malfunction in that year's iMac. There was actually a recall, and that solved my issue when the card was replaced free of charge, even past the warranty date. [/QUOTE]
