I have a 2012 10.8.5 OSX system. I think it's slowing down lately. Anyone recommend ElCapitan upgrade software or other?

I find my system becomes slow. I've been reluctant to upgrade because of negative reports and my skill level. Someone can tell me that update works well and is free for this version?

The only available update is now El Capitan, unless you have already downloaded the Mavericks or Yosemite. If you have downloaded before, go to the App Store purchases to download.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    Unless you are logging in to each account and switching between them - have each user run a lot of things.  Now * that * could slow down the computer.

    Otherwise, it's just - unused accounts unless you connect to them.  Again, storage space and unil you get below a few GB of free it - not no more worries.

    I noticed recently, I plugged the USB on my PC, has begun to open more slowly. One

    I use the most is small 4 GB and I bought some time ago. So, I thought it was the USB key. I've seen

    I've owned 6 PCs, since I bought my first after that Win 95 came out. They've all got more slowly than

    they aged.  My current PC is very fast, so as long as it does not get more slowly, it will not

    be a problem. I think it's just something that happens on the PC as they age. I wonder why it is

    the case?  But in general, I am very happy with this Dell desktop computer. It does not use so much power that the

    2005 did. You can tell by the fact that it does not heat the room, as did the 2005. It is important to Florida.

    My new PC is also much lighter in weight and a lot faster. PC is really improved over time.

    Hi Doug FL.

    One suggestion would be to go to downloads and look for an updated driver chipset.

    In general, the PCs slow down over time because of all the waste that accumulates on them. A lot of people a re - install the Dell factory image after a few years to solve this problem. It doesn't take long, but it requires that you back up all your files and then reinstall applications once you have finished.

  • Why my PC slow down after loading of Norton Internet security 2012

    Windows Search

    Why my PC slow down after loading of Norton Internet security 2012

    Because Norton is a Devourer of resources. I would say deleting and using a user-friendly program over Windows.
     
    Norton and McAfee are the two least friendly Windows security and swine resource to start programs. My ISP offers the McAfee security suite for free and I refuse to use it.
     
    I used to use Avast in conjunction with Windows Defender, (still a decent option), but since MSE became of age, I have used which. MSE is an anti-virus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware program all in one. IMO, it is a program MS got it wrong. And all of these options are freeware.
     
    If you choose to give it a try, download and save the MSE. Remove Norton and install MSE.

  • malicious program or a 10.9.5 OSX system library folder?

    There is Adware on a 2009 27 "iMac still under OSX 10.9.5 (for the 3rd party compatibility for example Adobe CS6 software suite).

    I followed the threads re. removal (thanks Linc Davis) and the problem does not come back.

    To the date of departure of the Ad problems, there was a file in the Macintosh HD/library with a red dot (unopenable) 'uschiwakin', this folder is not present on the own iMac, is this a legitimate system file? Now held in the "basket", just in case.

    I tried the TotalVirus site but it could not analyze the case, I also remove dit8.tgz in private/var/tmp /... After the reboot, etc. EtreCheck always gave an alert and I need to follow this.

    Would appreciate any advice on 'unschiwarkin', because it doesn't show up on search engines. malware.

    No, it's not legitimate system folder. It is probably part of the adware,

    And do you mean, 'TotalVirus","VirusTotal "?

  • How do I disable Adobe Flash - too many sites have Flash ads that slow down the browser unless an analysis.

    Some pages contain 3, 4, 5 or more adobe flash ads running at the same time, which slows down the browser a lot. Then, if you happen to have several tabs open, the browser is dragging virtually interrupted and many times is not responding at all.

    I would like to be able to choose whether or not a page can run flash content - not it be something that works all the time for each page, with the only option being to kill the plugincontainer process in taskmanager - who kills even the Adobe Flash elements you can watch; like a youtube video.

    Why is there not a way to disable Adobe Flash in the browser? I have updated Firefox and Adobe Flash, but nowhere is there at - it an option to turn on or off according to your needs.

    A control can be added to the Internet Options that you can set to have a page request before it is allowed to run the Flash content? Having that kind of control would GREATLY increase the pleasure of sailing on several pages.

    Any information on how to do it, would be appreciated.

    Hello, this is already possible in firefox: go to firefox/tools > addons > plugins and shockwave flash to Activategame. then the plugin will be disabled by default but can be enabled on a site-by-site basis.
