There are thousands of "Event occurred during an attempt to access the file." entries being generated in the mac system log, at times churning out a rate of 5-10 entries per second.
Examples:

There are over 1500 of these entries today alone. I don't mind syslog entries for important stuff, but this is quite pointless.
I have found relevant information in the following threads:
https://forum.eset.com/topic/2172-excessive-logging-in-varlogsystemlog-1092/
https://forum.eset.com/topic/2324-how-to-disable-systemlog-logging/
However, the solutions given don't work. I get a message "error[491e0000]: Cannot open file /Library/Application Support/ESET/esets/etc/esets.cfg: No such file or directory". I guess it's because those are from a few years ago and it's an older version. I can't find anywhere in settings to disable this either.
