I installed PithHelmet on my Mac and this pops up. I can't click anything and I'm forced to force quit. I downloaded it from here. I'm using the latest build of Safari.

Please help. How can I get around this beach ball? I'd really like to use PithHelmet.

I can't. If you would've read my entire post, I get the beach ball, thus not allowing me to click anything.

Oh, I see. Sorry. It was a little unclear what you meant.
Start by uninstalling PithHelmet, and make sure things work okay. Then reinstall and see if it is still a problem.

Or, try SafariBlock, which is decently good and free.

Could it have to do with other ad-blockers I have installed? I got like, 2 other ones.

If you really want to diagnose it, rather than just get it fixed, the next time it happens, open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor, click on Safari, and then click the "Sample Process" button in the toolbar.

Save the sample and paste in the text, and we can see where it's getting stuck.

Wow. I uninstalled it. Then reinstalled it and now it works.

That was really weird. Oh well. Thanks for the help.

Clicking "I paid" in the Preferences of PithHelmet eliminates the window you showed us.

I paid twice for it before I realized that I could just check that button. Silly me.
