My iMac keeps crashing due to a memory leak.... Any thoughts on what this means?

I'll be using my iMac (27" late 2009) and it will suddenly cut to black. Then after a second or two, a grey screen will appear and tell me an issue occured and to push any key to restart. Once the computer restarts, the issue report pops up and it says I have a memory leak. I don't know what that means, or how to fix it. Any thoughts on the cause of why it's doing this, or the impending doom it may be heralding? I've posted the issue report below incase anyone can glean anything from it. Thanks for your help.

Your computer had a Kernel Panic, it's crashing when it gets to:


com.taoeffect.ispy.kext 2.0.2

com.quark.driver.Tether64 1.1.0d3

My guess is you have some very out-of-date apps that need to be updated. Please locate the app for earch and update per the developers instructions. If they do not have versions that are certified to work with Mavericks 10.9.x then follow the developers instructions for uninstalling the app.


Good luck .

Boot into safe mode (restart holding down SHIFT key). If no KP, then uninstall and reinstall those 3rd-party items that Roger pointed out, one at a time, and restart. Continue until you determine which ones are causing the problem. If KP while in safe mode, then most likely hardware related. Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice, followed by Rember. See


OS X About kernel panics,

The panic was apparently caused by the Razer device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed. I suggest you disconnect the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the developer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post your results.
