What might cause mouse and keyboard freezes after updating to OSX 10.8.2? After the 10.8.2 update, keyboard and mouse input is hanging intermittently on my 2011 MacBook Air. It occurs in several applications (have tested with Safari and App Store). The keyboard input and mouse just stops working for a few seconds, then some of the typed text is input at the cursor. 

Does anyone know a solution to this or tip to help me find one?

Console log shows a lot of these

Several users have found this to work (and as far as I can evaluate, it fixed it for me as well):


Log in/switch to an administrator account
open Terminal
sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.google.keystone.daemon.plist
