we assume that some of these issues are likely a result of cleaning OSX/Adware.Genieo.C. The problem is that the adware created the file /private/etc/launchd.conf. As a result, if OSX doesn't find a file referenced in launchd.conf on a disk, it will crash. Other antivirus programs have recently suffered from the same problem as discussed on their forums.
To fix the issue, please continue as follows:
boot OSX from a bootable medium (installation DVD or USB stick)
remove the file /private/etc/launchd.conf
restart OSX
We apologize for the inconvenience.
As for the crashes in esets_proxy, could you confirm or deny that you have a network monitor Private Eye (hxxp://radiosilenceapp.com/private-eye) installed?

Not many of us are BSD savvy, and we do not have Mavericks media, given that we downloaded the upgrade. Can you provide a procedure for deleting launched.conf that is keystroke specific?
