Will tackle it sometime tomorrow. shouldn't start something you know nothing about when tired.

I can upgrade my Mac, will have to pay, and I worry about messing the OS up; I need to upgrade to the latest if it will take it. I talked to apple tech too far back to remember what they told me.

I looked at that app, it appears safe, will deal with it tomorrow if I can.

How do I disable Flash? Go to Safari>Preferences>Security>uncheck enable plug-ins, ucheck java?, uncheck enable javascript.

Also don't have popup windows blocked, there's a reason for that.

I've been wondering if the pages I visit, they fill them up with adware from places I've visited, they have to collect that crap from servers all over the place, if they are slow, it seems like that could be part of it.

Also I've developed a bad habit of having too many windows open at once, don't use tab browsing. The open windows often have things scrolling, etc., not clean and neat like FR.

I've been making a point to try to remember to close the worst offenders as soon as I'm done with them, local paper, ABC, my ISP news feed has a scroller, and so on.

And thank you. I really appreciate the help. Sometimes I can find it by googling but the thread was just sitting in front of me . . . . .I'll let you know what I've done, have some things to do offline first.
