Q: Etre report lists failed launch items

Good to know WebProcess = Safari and MDS = Spotlight!

I thought I had Flash set to Ask, but it must have defaulted on my last update.  I changed it to Ask in Firefox.

I have extensions turned off in Safari, so I turned them on and added Click To Flash.  I left the settings as they came 'cause they mean nothing to me.  I hope I don't have to figure out what to change!

I've often wished I could dictate when Spotlight does its indexing.

I  have no doubt that closing windows/tabs in either browser would speed things up.  I do that if it gets annoying.  Maybe the tweaks to Flash will help some.  Remember, this whole thread started when I was trying to fix the "rover.ebay.com" popup (which I haven't seen lately).  Then I downloaded Etre and found the [failed] stuff, and you guys noticed other issues like Symantec and Ram use.  I'm still concerned about the [failed] stuff.  Can I just delete all those [failed] com.apple…. things.  Won't they just regenerate -- maybe fixed?

AppCleaner was a very recent addition that I've never used -- just sounded good.  I DO have it in my SSD 240 GB startup disk in Utilities.  My default Downloads folder is in my 500 GB HDD.  I've set permissions on all my drives/partitions to allow read/write for administrators and me, but I can't delete anything from that drive except with the "delete immediately" option.  Very annoying!  So, when I try to delete AppCleaner from the Downloads folder, I can't.  I send it to the Trash, have to delete it immediately, and get the "The operation can’t be completed because the item “AppCleaner Helper” is in use" message.  I figured I'll have to reboot from another partition and trash it that way, just never seemed to bother.  Should I just trash it entirely?  I'm not sure I'd ever really trust AppCleaner anyway. It lists an awful lot of stuff automatically when I delete some small application.

The Logitech 3.9.1 I have seems always to work fine.  I think the 3.9.2 isn't compatible with my M525 and M510 mice.

"cmd+shift+4 then hit spacebar" is cute.  I usually use "cmd+shift+4 then click-and-drag" for everything.

I minuses the AppCleaner Helper in Login Items, closed all apps except Preview, and restarted.  Preview restored.  I took a shot of Activity Moniitor:

Then I ran Etre:

So, as you can see, without Firefox and Safari, things look good.  (By the way, E 157GB drive is my clone of the startup drive updated nightly by SuperDuper!.)  Now, if I can only fix that postfix thing.  Actually, I saw an old fix using Terminal, but am afraid the cure will be worse than the illness:  http://blog.deversus.com/2012/07/fix-for-postfix-in-mac-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion/
