Safari is crashing and hanging ALL the time.... Help PLEASE??

OK...


I have been having this issue with Safari hanging and crashing all the time.....


I am at a loss as to what to do about it.....


I have backed my computer up with TimeMachine...


I want to get rid of these straggling items from these Apps so that if I do

a clean install from TimeMachine, I don't end up with these remaining items left from these Apps.....


now there were a few apps I had downloaded to see if they could help me

find possible corrupt files....


Now, I am unable to get these Apps out of my computer,.....


I have located these various items and folders and shown the path on how I got to these

items and folders......


Is it safe for me to trash these folders of uninstalled Apps????


Folders I want to trash….


finder > time machine line…. In my TimeMachine back up disk....


Folder Backups.backupdb


Folder My MacBook Pro


Folder 2014-2-14 Date & time of back up


Folder Macintosh HD


Folder Library -


***Folder Application Support -- **** has Folder named Symantec*** I UNinstalled this last week…

Can I safely drag this folder to the trash????



Now secondly…..

Go back to Library…..


Folder Preferences -- Has a bunch of Sophos items…


com.sophos.ac.plist


com.sophos.ac.plist.lockfile


com.sophos.dc.plist


com.sophos.dc.plist.lockfile


com.sophos.sau.plist


com.sophos.sau.plist.lockfile


com.sophos.sav.plist


com.sophos.sav.plist.lockfile



Can I safely drag these items to the trash????


if not, How can I get these out of my computer???




In finder window when I eject a HDD….


UNder Macintosh HD


Users> Shared>


Folders of Applications I have uninstalled….


CleanMyMac 2 - Folder

MacPaw Gemini- Folder


Can I safely drag these to the trash ???


If not, How can I get rid of them completely?????


also in my SHARED Folder …..


There is also an item called NavAPvc.log


what is this item ????? and does it belong there????




I am FULLY aware that it was stupid of me to load these on my MacBook ....

and this is why I have uninstalled them......


I have been having issues with my MacBook for a LONG time now.....


I think I might have some corrupt files on my computer and would like to locate them and try

to remove them if somebody can please help me.....



Now, I have tried resetting Safari.... This did not help.....


I also disabled Extentions..... This also did not help....

I only have 2 extentions..... Google Translate and Ad Block....

and like I said,... disabling them doesn't help at all......


Thank you in advance for your help with this......

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.5), Lion - Safari 6.0.5

Hi,


We have studied the problem - it looks like a Safari issue, thus removal of CMM will not help (though if you ever decide to do it, use these instructions: http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2)


We'd rather recommend reinstalling Safari or trying alternative browsers like Chrome. Please share if it helps.
