I Now Have *TWO* SAV Icons, Side by Side, On My Safari Bar

fastjohn

I noticed this after upgrading to Mavericks.  Also, my MacBook is locking up; the cursor freezes, Alt/Command/Esc doesn't do anything at all, and my only recourse is to shut down using the power button.  When I power up again, the windows I had been in reappear.

I suspect the freezes and the frequent "beachballs" and general slowness are the result of two copies of SAV running simultaneously, but I'm too  much of a tyro to know.  Does anyone have any idea?

Should I just uninstall all versions of SAV and re-download it?  What should I do to document my problem better?  Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thank you!  I have to monitor the sequence more closely.  I notice that now, once I've turned the MacBook off and turned it back on, I have only ONE SAK icon; perhaps it self-corrects.  I will have to note at what point it reverts to two, and screen-print my Activity Monitor page then.

    Thinking back to my Palm days, and its "soft" and "hard" reboots, is there some equivalent for Macs?  Is simply turning it off and back on the same thing as a reboot?  Is a "restart" from the Apple icon the same thing?  Is there something more intensive (to clear its memory) that I s/b doing?  A spotlight search of "reboot" isn't giving me anything.

    Thanks for all your help!
