Apr 20, 2012 1:59 PM in response to Cliff_Loobsby Linc Davis,Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/nullImportant: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

May 1, 2012 1:11 PM in response to Linc Davisby Cliff_Loobs,Thank you for the more than complete instructions to aid in solving the issue. Key was your statement concerning third-part modifications. Thinking back I realized that issue was coicidental with my having installed Norton Antivirus (free from Comcast). I deactivated that, moved it to trahs and went back to iAntiVirus. Problem gone!
Thanks again.

You're using Torrents. That in itself makes you vulnerable to all kinds of chaos.
If, after deleting Torrents, you still crash and want help, please post your own new topic here.
Thanks.

Sep 21, 2016 12:28 PM in response to Cliff_Loobsby CA-Wind-Rider,I got this error when I was trying to open a local HTML file using Safari (v9.1.3) on my local machine (OSX 10.11.6) that I created using a number of tools (RStudio v0.99.902) so it's not likely that there is malicious stuff in the file. I have generated multiple versions of this HTML file previously and opened it with Safari without problems. Then I got the "Operation not permitted". Just, now, I tried to reopen the same HTML with a different browser, and I did NOT get the error. Today, I tried to open the exact same HTML file with Safari and no error occurred.
Below are my results running the Unix code suggested.
I suspect that some fortinet protection code caused this error. Since Fortinet (FortiClient v 5.4.1.514) is updated frequently, it seems likely that a "bug" that was introduced has since been fixed.

Sep 22, 2016 8:00 AM in response to CA-Wind-Riderby Eric Root,You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
