A:

Remove all that useless "anti-virus" software according to the developer's instructions.

    that works, but it doesn't explain why it happened

     

    It happened because the software you removed is useless garbage, like all commercial "security" software for the Mac platform. If you want a more detailed explanation, you'll have to ask the developer. If your system is working now, you most certailnly do not need to reinstall the OS or do anything else at all, except to refrain from installing any more garbage software.

    I believe, Linc, that your near-rabid bias against anti-virus software in all forms is getting in the way here. Unless you have a theory that explains why multiple different anti-virus programs all are causing exactly the same unusual failure?

    No, my near-rabid bias against fixing something that isn't broken is what's getting in the way. The OP says he doesn't have a problem now.

    I started having the same problem.  Most websites would not load. I have Sophos installed, so when I saw the suggestion to delete antivirus I looked at Sophos.  But, instead of removing it, I went to prefs and turned off Web Protection. The websites work like before.  I had Sophos on prior to the web page problem, however, perhaps a Sophos or Apple update caused the problem?
