Oct 27, 2014 8:29 PM in response to johnfromwestnyackby MadMacs0,It's rarely a good idea to post to such an old discussion. Not only has a lot changed making some of the recommendations no longer applicable, but many of the contributors have probably stopped monitoring it and no additional troubleshooters are likely see your posting. If you don't find the answer from reading through an older post, it's always best to start a new conversation stating in detail exactly what and when it is you see your "rainbow ball of death". That's just the way this forum works best.

And destroy some system components. It is not necessary and Google Software and Mac OS X do not play nicely together. I would advise against this.

It isn't Google Software. I believe he meant to say Google "Mac PowerSuite". The web site comes back with a WOT caution as untrustworthy and not suitable for children, but no reviews, no details and no third party confirmation.
From the site it appears to be just another worthless "Cleaner" app to waste $20 on, just less capable than most others. Perhaps Tossnara is affiliated with them.
