i was on 9gag and my early 2011 macbook pro 13" suddenly froze. the screen was on and looked normal but i couldnt move my mouse. can this be caused some kind of malware? i never visit any suspicious sites :/ my apple care runs out in like few weeks, should i bring it to apple and have it looked? is this normal?

I don't think it is any malware. If you have more freezes on other programs then I should take any action.

Remember, those 3th party apps can have bad scripts what should be fixed. Just check when you have more freezes.

Get off 9gag and just go to 4chan or reddit. 9gag is for people that do not know better.;)

But seriously computer freezes can happen even with the newest technology. Just restart and go on about your day.

Buy apple care and extend it for another 2 years then not worry about it.
