Hi, yesterday visited a website worldrugbyshop.com and while looking at the
site it became locked and the pages stuck and not loading. Also the iMac
started making a rumbling sound (OSX 10.8.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800
MHz DDR2 SDRAM) as if it was working away though nothing was happening.
Other windows in Safari 6.2 started to lock up and soon I could not Command/tab
between applications. Then the Spinning wheel started
I tried to Option/Command/Esc to see if Safari was responding or not, the
Option/Command/Esc did not work.
The mouse would not move initially and then when it did it moved intermittently.
I finally closed down Safari.
Ran Disk Utility, Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions. Disconnected the
WiFi and rebooted.
Went back and opened up Safari again and the same thing happened.
Went into Safari>Preferences>Privacy>Cookies and other website data>Details and
type "World" found and removed the cookies for Worldrugbyshop.com. Ran Disk
Utility, Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions.
Went back and opened up Safari again and the same thing happened.
Ran DiskWarrior from my MBP to the iMac in Target mode and rebuilt the
Directory.
Went back and opened up Safari again and the same thing happened.
But have just noticed that when I go into Safari>Preferences>Privacy>Cookies
and other website data>Details and type "world" to search for
worldrugbyshop.com it is there again with "Cache. Cookies" underneath it.
When I highlight it and click remove it disappears, but if I close Safari and
reopen it and check again it is there?
Now I am not 100% sure that worldrugbyshop.com is the culprit, but everything
happened when I went to that site.
The rumbling sound on the iMac only occurs when Safari is being used, every
time I turn it off the sound stops about 3 or 4 seconds afterwards. And off
course the Spinning wheel is nearly in constant use now when I used Safari.
Any one have any ideas what may be wrong?
Thanks
Matt.
