hey guys I recently got a mac powerbook g4 everything was good for the first 5 months and then like a week ago it has been acting up. I try to open up programs and it takes about 5 min to open it up. You just see the little mouse pointer circle spinning. It happens on anything i try to open Even when i just click the little apple on the left. Now since this morning i cant get it to boot up. When i power it on it just stays on the gray screen with the apple. I even tried to start it with safe mode. And still in the gray screen.

I am not sure what version of mac i am running since i cant boot it up t find out anymore. But it was something like 1.0.3.4. I have 1gb of ram, my hard drive is a 74.4gb and 34.11gb of free hard drive space. I am not too familiar with macs but is there any type of virus or spyware protections programs i can download? Seems like everything i look up is only for microsoft.

Thanks for all the help you give me guys.
