Dec 6, 2014 6:48 AMby greg sahli,You have CleanMyMac installed. It is unnecessary and known to cause problems. Please uninstall it. (directions found on web or home page)
You are running low (but not critically low - yet) on boot drive storage space. You have 26 GB out of 250 - you need at least 10 GB more to prevent slowdowns. OS X uses extra hard drive space as temporary space to allow currently-active apps more RAM.
Your /etc/hosts file contains extra entries compared to normal (normal is 10 or 11). This file provides address reference (Domain Name Service - DNS) for networking. If you have personally modified it to be able to use other computers' names instead of IP addresses on your local network, that's OK. If not, I suspect you have had some malware that uses this host file method to prevent Apple xProtect updates by redirecting internet requests, or, malware/adware that redirects "some" requests to a specific site that tries to get you to give it your personal info/passwords.
To check this last issue, please open the Terminal utility and type this command:
more /etc/hosts
This lists the hosts file contents. If it fills the window, you can see the rest by hitting the space bar. You quit this command by typing q. Please show us (copy and paste back here) everything below these normal lines:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
(of course, don't show any personal info that you've put in there)

Dec 6, 2014 9:26 AMby Pudich,Hello,
First of all I want to appreciate for your help! Thanks a lot!
I did everything you wrote + more: I delete CleanMyMac via AppCleaner application, free to 100GB of storage, watch at host file and delete all link that were there except main that you wrote (there where link to adobe products). Now I try to figure how to set my external hard drive as a backup.
Here's how look like Etresoft now:

Dec 6, 2014 10:32 AMby Lexiepex,Like I said:
You have very crippling softwares on your system, and you have been infected.
This thread is already too long, start a new one. Post the list here.
There is a lot to do. A new thread attracts more troubleshooters.
Look in this thread how others started a new thread. I am not coming back here anymore.
Lex
PS, there is no need to do anyting about the hosts file: the issue is in the software that compromised it. See also in this thread.
-
Dec 6, 2014 2:39 PMby greg sahli,You know, I agree with Lex - it is a pain to get through this long thread to help you.
To ask your question again, go up to the Mavericks page, then type in the block "Search or Ask a Question." Start your new question there.
By the way, according to the Etrecheck, you haven't yet removed CleanMyMac correctly/completely.

Dec 21, 2014 2:29 PMby paperclip writer,Hey Arthur
If you're still looking in on this thread-
I do a bit of this type of diagnostics myself, and I find myself dearly missing the Extension Manager from pre-OS X days. The ability to disable single objects or entire OS infrastructures was useful and comprehensive in hunting down issues. While I am not a developer, I imagine that the folks in Cupertino are capable of designing something to manage these groups of background tasks...
Nice work in this thread.

Mar 17, 2015 6:47 AMby stedman1,Your computer is riddled with AdWare and useless software. Use the info below to rid it if the AdWare, then uninstall CleanMyMac2 as per developers instruction. If these steps don't help, please start a new post with as much detail as possible.
Please review the options below to determine which method is best to remove the Adware installed on your computer.
The Easy, safe, effective method:

If you are comfortable doing manual file removals use the somewhat more difficult method:

Also read the articles below to be more prepared for the next time there is an issue on your computer.

Mar 17, 2015 7:56 AMby Lexiepex,In addition to Stedmans' perfect advice:
After you have done as he recommends go to Safari/Preferences/Extensions and delete all remaining extensions (except Adblock): they are all crap.
One remark about Adblock:
it is a trustworthy Adblocker at the moment in contrary to AdblockerPlus and Ghostblocker.
But when reading sites with very many ads and thus little space for articles, you must be aware that such a site is not there for the articles (thus questionable content) but for the income from ads.
