Q: iMac 2009 OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 running painfully slowly and finder crashing every few seconds

Our iMac speed has been deteriorating over a period of months. Now beach ball is constantly turning, and finder windows and icons keep disappearing and reappearing. Problems seem to be solved when booted in safe mode. I have reset PRAM and SMC, and run etrecheck (see below), but no improvement. From etrecheck report, it appears that Finder is crashing every few seconds. Any advice?
