Dump Norton and get something decent.

In the meantime:

Search for malware:

Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Delete everything is found.

Reset.

The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  • Activity monitor close unexpectedly when running in the background on the left

    Recently upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and Activity Monitor to close unexpectedly when running back plan left (do not smoke and open the activity monitor window) to a blank desktop when you use an application in another office. Clean install I tried but the activity monitor would still be down at random times when left running in the background to another empty office. Someone at - there experience this problem? For most browsing on the web using Safari on another desktop computer when Activity Monitor quit unexpectedly.

    Activity monitor also using a lot of energy since the upgrade?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Model: MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

    OS: macOS Sierra: 10.12 (installed via the upgrade, own installed after this problem).

    Do not forget that you are using the activity monitor version which was installed when you upgraded to Sierra. Activity monitor located in the your Mac utilities folder.

    If you have moved a previous version to a different location, it will not work.

    If you are using the correct version, post crash report. Error reports lies in the application of the Console under System reports or reports from usersand end in the suffix .crash. If you choose to do so, omit or hide any information that you consider personal.

  • GPS apps in the background

    I have an iPhone 6 s upgraded to iOS 10 the day it came out last week and I noticed that applications using GPS are failing in the background when several applications are in use. I ran to the Waze to check the traffic and Google Maps at the same time to check something on Friday and has noticed that if she was in the background would tend to turn off after a few moments. When I turn back, she will have to acquire the road again. I also have a Fitbit load HR, which uses the GPS on the phone via bluetooth to create a map of my route. I have it worked out with my usual Runkeeper app (which normally works perfectly) and noticed that Runkeeper would be closed after a mile or more. When I went to him to my podcast app after my race, Runkeeper would start up and missed the last two miles of my race. In addition, the road saved by Fitbit seemed jumped all over the place. I know that it is not unusual for GPS from blip, especially when moving through areas with weak signal or cell mutation or all through the streets of the city with tall buildings, but it seems that the problems have become more coherent. I have not tried to run with a single application to see if I have the same problem, but will try tomorrow. I used only a single app for navigation (Waze) yesterday evening and he seemed also to close after it is placed in the background for a while. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

    Hello alexhoward,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding GPS apps do not work in the background, after the update to iOS 10. I use GPS every time I travel. I know that it can be crucial for applications GPS running in the background. I'm happy to help you

    I recommend first restart your iPhone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below.

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If the problem persists, reset your location service. This resets all settings at default location. Apps will be stop using your location until you grant them permission again. Go to settings > general > reset > reset the card and privacy. Here is some additional information on location Services.
    On privacy and location in iOS Services 8 and later versions

  • Alternate the background color on and off the toolbar

    Hello

    I have a request. I use Firefox regularly and change the background color in the "content" of the preferences section is easier on my eyes. However, on some sites I would like to disable this function, but I have to go to the preferences it off and then turn it back on once I have leave the site.

    Is it possible for you to make a button that can enable this setting and disable the toolbar? That way if I need to see pictures on a site I can click on the button and then click again to turn it off.

    Kind Regards,
    Bobby

  • How can I change the 39 firefox tabs so that they do not mix in the background so ALL tabs will be visible/colorful?

    Hello:

    Previously, I had firefox 38 and was using an older version of the classic theme restaurateur v1.2.9.6 and I have no problem see the tabs colorful.

    Unfortunately, given that the upgrade to firefox 39 and classic theme restaurateur v1.3.5 only colorful tab is the active tab that you currently can within (we) work, the other tab to blend into the background of persona. I know some people probably like how the inactive tabs blend into the background... I'm NOT one of those people.

    It is quite difficult to see the tabs 'because' they mix in the background a little too well. Is there a way to change things so that ALL tabs even inactive tabs that I do not work on/with will be visible and visible by colorful instead of melt in some context of the persona shows at some point I mean?

    Thank you.

    I wonder if this has been changed to avoid disrupting the use of light/personas themes? I don't see anything obvious in the release notes history: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/versions/

    I think it's something that would go more to the author of the classic theme restaurateur. Support seems to be a very long thread here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48 & t = 2827985
