Dear Mark and all,

Thank you very much for your help. My iMac G5 works fine after updating so far.

I used to have got some 68K based old ones such as...

Classic running with Sys 7.1.
SE/30 running with Sys 7.1 to OS8.1.
IIvi, Centris650...

In the early era, any updates always made the start up time of my 68K Macs so long. :)

Regards,

And this is my second question. My other problem is that Brightness in Displays System Preferences sometimes changes to the minimum when my iMac G5 running Panther 10.3.5 starts up or wakes up from sleep. Something wrong. Is this a known problem?

There have been many and various bugs with Mac models coming out of sleep. You should update your Mac OS version to 10.3.9 as this is the latest version of 10.3.x, and should contain a fix for that issue, as well as many security and software updates - including Safari, Mail and others. As with any other OS it is important to keep installing any updates that arise as they contain important fixes.

I suspected this is due to a side effect of any spywares.

As Mac OS X is a UNIX based operating system, and thus requires administrator passwords to install *any* software it's very unlikely you will contract anything like that, if it even exists. Also Safari does not react to most common spyware install methods as the majority use Internet Explorer for Windows specific scripts, and store information in the Windows registry. Both are physically impossible to do on a Mac.

Any help would be so much appreciated.

Hit your Apple menu and go to 'Software Update' and install them. Be aware that some are pretty big so if you don't have Broadband Internet (ADSL or Cable) it might take a long time and several attempts to download it all. One thing to be aware of is that if there are a lot of Security Updates listed when you first open it DON'T be tempted to do those first. ALWAYS install Max OS X updates first (in your case it will list 'Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combined Update) as these contain most of the patches and security updates listed if you open Software Update on a machine running a very old OS Version. Best strategy is to install the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combined Update first then reboot and re-open Software Update and install what is left.

Hope that Helps!
