Hi aliogul:
you have at least two "mac killers": Akamai and MacKeeper.
1. I am not sure, but you can find an uninstaller on www.zeobit.com for Mackeeper. If you do not find it, post and I will give a list of instructions.
2. Akamai is more difficult, but you can use some Terminal commands. First disable "update" in the Akamai Netsession Applet (in SystemPreferences), then start terminal and copy/paste following command:
/Applications/Akamai/admintool uninstall -force
Hopefully this uninstalls everything Akamai.
Let's wait and see.
Restart the mac, and see if it is still in SystemPreferences.
Make a new Etrecheck list and post your answer on point 1 and 2.
A lot more cleaning to do, but these two are bad things to have on your mac, I want to see them gone, before going on.
Lex

OK, much better:
1. there are remnants of Mackeeper and Akamai:
Go into yourname/Library/LaunchAgents/ and delete the Akamai and the zeobit entries. Then "empty" the trashbin; if it will not do that, "secure empty" the trash bin.
1.a. Start Keychain, and look if there are zeobit or mackeeper entries, delete them.
2. Do you use Cisco equipment that needs all the cisco software?
3. Do you need Teamviewer (host and or client)? harmless
4. Unistall Chrome: this is a "memory leaker" and better avoided in Mavericks. Safari is much better and safer than chrome ever was.
5. In Java uncheck "Enable..." in the security tab. Set it only to on, when you absolutely need it. Uninstalling is almost impossible, so let it be.
6. Delete the two AdobePDFViewer plugins from MacintoshHD/Library/InternetPlugins folder.
7. I think you do not need Divx: uninstall the applet from SystemPreferences and delete the plugin from MacintoshHD/Library/InternetPlugins folder. And also the Silverlight plugin.
8. Uninstall Growl, Notifications is much better.
9. There is no reason to use Macfuse, I am sure.
I have more questions, but this frst. Afterwards restart, empty trashbin, and make a new Etrecheck list.

1. you go to the www.zeobit.com site and download the Mackeeper Uninstaller.
When not in yourname/Library/LaunchAgents (look again, it is still there) go to Macintosh/Library/LaunchAgents and see there. But with 'yourname' I mean your Homefolder.
2. OK, don't touch it.
3. OK, gone
4. Mmmm, unhappy, but it is your choice. Avoid leaving it on when not using it (Quit from the menu), remove it from the User Login Items (SystemPreferences/Users&Groups/LoginItems, remove with minus sign underneath).
5. OK
6. OK
7. OK, but the Silverlight plugin is still there. You can remove it (Silverlight is uninstalled).
8. 9. OK
After you do point one again, (restart), everything must be running better now already.
10, What is Jaksta?
11. What is uHDagent/Bluestacks ?
12. What is Octoshape ?
13. You shouldn't have running AdobeReader all the time, imho you do not need it at all with the Preview app available. Either uninstall it or at least remove it from the User Login Items. uHDagent is there twice, delete both entries. Skype ? Octoshape?.
Waiting for your next answer.
Lex

1- I couldnt find the uninstaller .. but I downloaded the mackeeper, installed it and then uninstalled it like it is said on this page help.mackeeper.zeobit.com/Manual/GettingStarted/UninstallingMacKeeper.html
I could see LaunchAgents folder, but there is nothing about zeobit, mackeeper, or akamai. Some files about Adobe.

2 and 3. ok
4- will decide soon
5, 6,7,8.9. ok
10. I dont actually know but I found a link here > jaksta.com.. probably downloaded some day.
But there is no application called Jaksta.. I found in Library / StartupItems and deleted those files.

11- this is blueStacks, but I already uninstalled it, shouldnt be seen.
12- Octoshape is a Flash Player. I need it sometimes.
13 - I actually dont know what uHDagent is.

Thanks

Good work, forward slowly:
1. Download an app called Find Any File from   http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Install and search for akamai   it will find com.akamai.single-user-client.plist and in the display there CTL click on it and move to trash.
Search for   zeobit   : it should not find anything, when it finds anything move it to trash.
7. I forgot OVSHelper (divx) in the Internet Plugins, it can go also.
10. OK, that wa enough.
11. 13. Bluestacks and uHDagent are together. Bluestacks is not uninstalled completely.
Go to SystemPreferences/Users&Groups/LoginItems tab: remove uHDagent (2 entries), Skype, AdobeReader, GoogleChrome, iTunesHelper (remove by selecting them and using the minus sign underneath): this does not uninstall them, but now they will not start up automatically.
I especially included Chrome, see my earlier remarks and note in the list under "top processes by CPU" how much of the resources it takes, it should not run unattended.
14. Go to homefolder/Library/Internetplugins/ folder and delete
BlueStacks Install Detector
and also the Picasa plugin (picasa is uninstalled).
-- Restart, empty trash bin, new etrecheck list.
After this only cosmetic adjustments.
