Re: Freeze just after starting ??

Hi Stephen, I would suggest uninstalling VirusBarrier. At least that would be the first login Item I would be eliminating. Anti-virus software on OS X generally is a much greater cause of problems than it is for any kind of good solution. They are resource hogs & have also been known to cause

Re: Free tethering on which Network for iPhone
