Can you help me now?
Uninstall Global Delight's "Boom" software according to its instructions.
Your system has been modified with many other potential problems including AppCleaner. Start with Boom and observe effects of uninstalling it. Also look for an update to Virtualbox.
If it is causing all browsers to freeze, I would suspect one of your Internet Plug-ins.
i uninstall boom a long time ago.
i checked the plugins nothing there. Could it be a virus?
I'm not sure if it is related, but check for updates for Google Drive. It has been causing the Finder to crash.

So you removed them all from the folder and re-started Safari?

Boom is still installed according to the report you posted about an hour ago.

If you are downloading torrents, anything is possible. For example, you said you uninstalled Boom yet it remains installed.
how do you know boom is installed?
I don't download illegal software the only reason I had to use utorrent is because the dmg file for Libre Office is torrent format. Libre Office if freeware software it is like Microsoft Word but its free.

The Original Boom I installed was a free trial after 30 days I delete it in the trash can I thought that was how you uninstall on Mac Osx.
How can Boom be there and there is no Icon?
There does not need to be an icon for a process modifying OS X to remain installed. If you provided your user name and password in response to an installer's request for your credentials, merely dragging an application's icon to the Trash is almost never the correct way to uninstall it. If you don't uninstall such things properly, not only will they continue to affect your system, adverse effects may result from an incomplete installation. Boom is a system modification known to cause problems, and from what you describe it was not completely uninstalled.
If you do not know how to uninstall a system modification, ask its developer for assistance.
Google Drive is another problem: finder crashes with maverick. If you want your Mac to run well, uninstall anything Google installed on your Mac including the resource-hogging Chrome.
Wireshark has been known to cause problems even in earlier OS X versions. Determine if it has been updated for Mavericks, use the correct version for your Mac, and if you do not need it, get rid of it.
How do I uninstall the rest of Boom, where do I find the Kernel Extensions?
Safari isn't a browser I like it doesn't block annoying advertisments like Chrome and Firefox
