After installing Security Update 2012-001 my computer crashed once and is now operating sluggishly. How do I unistall security updates??

Really frustrated here. My macpro 17 in was working fine before installing this update and now it's having problems left and right. Once it completely shut down, it's sluggish, and there are numerous errors with safari and things like clicking the full screen button on youtube (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't).

Anyone have advice on how to unistall security updates?

MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Which security update did you install? Was it this one: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1489

If not, download that one and install it.

The new update download you were just given was revised and fixed only for problems the original was creating for Rosetta/PPC applications. Other than that, it was the same update as before. This wouldn't explain the problems you've been having

But anyway you can try reapplying the new one from Safe Boot.

See my recommendations for updating.

Before installing the new security update, it might be helpful to first apply or reapply the 10.6.8 Combo.

In fact, first just see if booting into Safe Boot and then back normally resolves the problem. Directions for that in the "Recommendations" link I gave you.

Kurt188: yes

WZZZ: I'll give it a go in Safe Boot first, will update the thread again when I have some more info.
