A Spyware Problem?
On my daughter's iBook, every time she bring up a new webpage, the computer stops to think,
and she gets the rainbow swirly ball for a few seconds. She has been told that she may have some invisible program running.
Would spyware software ferret out the problem and get it off her system?
Thanks!

"Empty cache..." is available from the Safari application menu. The icon cache can be found under ~/Library/Safari/Icons/. The preference file is ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
Also check that you don't have any 3rd party plug-ins installed for Safari like Saft or Pith Helmet which are known to screw things up here and there.
Spyware is basically non-existent on the Mac, so I seriously doubt that's what's going on here.
