[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1382573, member: 182015"] Please don't spend money on antiVirus for Mac. If you want to scan it, get the free ClamXAV: [url=http://www.clamxav.com/]ClamXav[/url] For the slow startup issue, try repairing your hard drive using one of Apple's three recommended methods here: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck[/url] Easiest is Safe Boot - hold shift key after gong sound. Wait for startup to complete (takes longer), then restart normally. Please don't get into the habit of making Windows-centric responses to Mac problems - Anti-virus software, cleaning software, reinstalling drivers over and over -- All Windows ideas that aren't helpful on Macs.
