I know this is probably not the right place for this post. There needs to be an issues forum/board here.
Something disturbing happened to my Mac yesterday. I've tried to figure out what changed. I did install Norton firewall and Internet Security, but turned those off when I noticed the problem.
Here's what happens... If I open Safari and visit any site, normal browsing is the norm. If I go to Apple.com the page never finishes loading, safari craps out, and kernel_task goes nuts. I'm attaching two shots from Activity Monitor showing the stats. I have to restart to get control again. Everything stays fine until I go to Apple.com with Safari again. Then I can't open anything. Quitting Safari does not help. Anyone else had this? I did a complete virus scan and the machine is clean based on Symantic's latest files.
Please help. Jeff.
