Download the 10.9.3 Combo update and install it. Unplug all peripherals (external drives etc) and exit all apps while it's being installed, reboot afer it completes.

Restart your Mac, as soon as you hear the startup chime press and hold the shift key until the progress indicator appears. It will take longer than normal to startup, that's normal.

It's not a problem. Do you have a backup of your Mac from before the installation of Mavericks?
