Arthur, you have just told me that plug ins for Java, Shockwave, Adobe, Flash Player, Iphoto, WMV, Silverlight, Gametree, and Wacom(my pen tabet) are all extraneous and need to be deleted. If you do not have these how do you view pdf documnets and any video on the internet in your browser? They are all updated. I doubt people would agree with you that these very common plugins that are needed both in the PC and Mac world, should be deleted. The only two you could say are not neccessary are Gametree and WMV; however, Gametree allows me to play a Mac game I purchased, and WMV allows we to watch videos for sites and my class that are in a plugin that won't play on a Mac with out a conversion.

Carolyn, thank you for your help and input. I have deleted com.google.keystone.agent.plist, and so far things seem fine, but I will need to play around more on Safari you give you a definately answer on whether it fixed my problem.

Could you tell me why that .plist was causing a problem? It was clearly there before I upgraded to Mavericks, and yet, in Lion I had no problem with it being there. I will admit I don't know what com.google.keystone.agent.plist even is, so please explain things in a nice way.

I didn't know CleanMyMac was still on there, since I deleted it a long time ago. I don't even remember what it did or looked like. Thanks for the catch, I'll delete it completely.

Carolyn, I just read that com.google.keystone.agent.plist is something for Google Drive, and that Google Drive is not compatible for Mavericks. I need Google Drive for a class that I am taking, it is how we are required to turn in work. Can you confirm this?

"The Google keystone agent thing in your user launch agents is also suspect; Google drive is not compatible with Mavericks."

I found this a different post of Arthur's.

Thanks again Carolyn. I can now assume that anything Arthur says should be questioned. I'll let you know if I run into any problems with Safari. I will say that it is still slow at loading pages.

I have completed the DNS step, however, I would appreciate it if you told me what this will be doing.

Just for the purpose of letting others like me know exactly what it is, the DNS step that Carolyn had me do is a little more that what she said. I did a little research.

Adding the two numbers, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 are the IP's of OpenDNS. They are safe to add and provide speed increases.

Just to let everyone, know Sarfari work Fine now, and I have had no problems loading pages. Thank you Carolyn for your help.

I'm still irritated that this wasn't a problem before I upgraded to Mavericks, but thanks for the help.
