Messages freezing after upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.3

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3, launching Messages freezes my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), requiring a hard restart (power off). I didn't back up prior to the upgrade, so I can't roll back to 10.10.2. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I've already tried moving the iChat.plist out of the Preferences folder, restarting, and launching Messages, and that didn't do the trick.


Thanks.

Hi all,


Found this in McAfee's Knowledge Base. It is indeed related to McAfee Endpoint and the 10.10.3 Yosemite upgrade. Similarly, Messages would eventually open up after a few minutes of idling.

Unfortunately they don't provide a solution, but they do provide a workaround. My company's IT is seeing if they can implement it, but hoping this helps someone with the same issue on their personal computer.


Mac running Endpoint Protection for Mac with Application Protection enabled becomes unresponsive when applications are opened


Cheers,
