InterCheck takes up to 192% process time when I start Firefox (Safari or Sophos, or...). Why is this?
Dear Fellows,
I was surprise, as I realized that MacBook Pro was running InterChech from the Sophos Anti-Virus folder using near to 192% process time...
The fan was running on 100% all time long.
It was a big piece of work to start annother application.
I contacted Sophos support asking what to do. I didn't get a conclusive statement.
So, I'm asking you.
Anyway, after a while I killed the process.
What is the matter with InterCheck? How is possible to avoid such situations?
Thank you.
Regards,
IOS
That is not normal behavior for Sophos. Something is wrong. Did you try removing and reinstalling it? Run the Sophos Remove application (which should be in the Applications folder) to completely remove all components. Then download the most current version from the Sophos web site and reinstall it.
Alternately, you are probably fine to just remove it, provided you are following all the necessary security procedures to protect yourself from malware. See my Mac Malware Guide.

The bookmarks, cookies, history all the time are deleted when I start Firefox and I need to import them all the time.
I have version 3.6.12This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Can't restore session always shows up when I start firefox.... how to fix this?
Every time I open firefox I get the "Well, this is embarrassing...." message. I have read everything on the support site that seems to pertain and have tried adjusting settings, but to no avail. The CAN'T RESTORE still pops up. This is not happening as the result of a crash. I have FIREFOX WILL: set to open home page.
hello, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''. -
we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.Unfortunately this link does not help.
We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far. -
Why won't my bookmarks side menu automatically pop up when I start firefox
Most times when I start Firefox the Bookmarks side menu does not automatically pop up, and I must start it almost every time.
The Bookmarks Sidebar isn't supposed to open when Firefox is started. But, if it is open when you close Firefox, it should be open the next time you start Firefox.

How to perform some action every time when AppServer starts/stops
I need to start/stop some external processes every time when AppServer starts/stops. Is there standart mechanism or API to do this?
Most of the app servers support a concept of startup and shut down classes (I use this feature in Web logic 6.1)
The startup classes are executed every time you start the app server and the shutdown classes are executed everytime the app server is brought down.
Here is a URL that will give u all the details you need to know for weblogic startup classes
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61///////ConsoleHelp/startupclass.html
This is the URL for shut down classes for web logic
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61//////ConsoleHelp/shutdownclass.html
hope this helps.

What is "launchproxyls"? It runs every time when I start the system.
I am using 10.6.6， Recently I noticed the computer running even I did not using any program. Then I found the process "launchproxyls", when I close this process, computer return quiet again. But every time when I start the system, it runs, and I have to close it manually.
Could anybody please help me?Thank you for the response.
I found it was SPSS using inetd.
So I made two changes, but it the launchproxyls does still run the same:
First I uninstalled the SPSS, but no effects.
Then I reinstalled the OS(10.5), the launchproxyls did not appear. But after I update to 10.6.6, it appeared again, I still have to terminate it manually.
Is there any relation between 1.6.6 and launchproxyls?

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??
I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it ! -

Any Help?I know the update has only been out a while but if anyone has an idea why it is doing this, please let me know!But you are telling me something I already know.
Be precise.
It is not Pages '09 that is broken.
I am back in Mavericks and testing Pages 5.2.
There are improvements, we shall see how useful, but in less than a minute I have already discovered bugs.

I installed Mountain Lion in my IMac and now, some times, when I start up my mac it looks with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?
Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless. If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM. See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google browser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.
Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Thanks for the feedback. You can also try to inform [https://community.mcafee.com/index.jspa McAfee].
Firefox has a add-ons page to temporarily or permanently disable add-ons for checking: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.
