hey guys

so when my macbook pro is in the middle of a restart it kind of freezes on the desktop (before it begins to boot up again)

all the icons disappear and the computer just idles on the desktop screen for quite some time. the restart always happens, it just takes a long time

what's going on?

i am sorry i cannot provide any more information but i am willing to update the post upon request

thank you !
 
it gets stuck after the dock goes away...doesn't this imply that all the applications were closed?

ok so in the console it says that during the restart, about 40 seconds is allotted to

"Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist"

it also takes about 16 seconds to stop "mcafee agent" before that

any ideas?

thanks in advance
 
er, i threw the only mcafee related programs on my computer into the trash and emptied the trash, but for some reason mcafee agent still runs. anyway to find where its located? spotlight and finder do not seem to be helping

Did you quit the process through Activity monitor?
