Re: Safari hangs when loading Apple webpages

Hi Alan, Without viewing the complete EtreCheck report or the Logs you mention its difficult to comment. You mentioned you “Tried Firefox”… was this happening in Firefox as well as Safari? Your subject only mentions Safari. I still feel you possibly have some 3rd party add-on or plugin

Re: Safari hangs when loading Apple webpages

Re: Malware and Macs ?

I wondered who the author was, so clicked on the link in the article. It goes to his Google Plus page where he has 3 followers. Not an impressive number. I'd much prefer to take our own esteemed contributor Ronni's direction thanks. She's given clear advice and direction over this issue for
