Hi samasdos,
 
Lets first confirm malware is not the cause, and we can move on to troubleshooting why your computer is acting sluggish. You have a couple of programmes that are heavy on resources, so, amongst other things, we can look into temporarily disabling these once malware has been ruled out. 
 
STEP 1
[external image: xGfiJrQ9.png.pagespeed.ic.HjgFxjvw2Z.jpg] Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM)

  • Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free to your Desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.x.x.xxxx.exe (x represents the version #) and follow the prompts to install the programme. 
  • Note: Due to the memory consumption of Malwarebytes Premium, please do not select to try the free trial for the time being.
  • Launch the programme and select Update.
  • Once updated, click the Settings tab and tick Scan for rootkits.
  • Click the Scan tab, ensure Threat Scan is checked and click Scan Now.
  • Note: You may see the following message, "Could not load DDA driver". Click Yes, allow your PC to reboot and continue afterwards. 
  • If threats are detected, click the Apply Actions button. You will now be prompted to reboot. Click Yes.
  • Upon completion of the scan (or after the reboot), click the History tab.
  • Click Application Logs and double-click the Scan Log.
  • Click Copy to Clipboard and paste the log in your next reply. 
     

STEP 2
[external image: GzlsbnV.png.pagespeed.ce.SLxxSJVib_.png] ESET Online Scan
Note: This scan may take a long time to complete. Please do not browse the Internet whilst your Anti-Virus is disabled.

  • Please download ESET Online Scan and save the file to your Desktop.
  • Temporarily disable your anti-virus software. For instructions, please refer to the following link.
  • Double-click esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to run the programme. 
  • Agree to the EULA by placing a checkmark next to Yes, I accept the Terms of Use. Then click Start.
  • Agree to the Terms of Use once more and click Start. Allow components to download.
  • Place a checkmark next to Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications.
  • Click Hide advanced settings. Place a checkmark next to:
    • Scan archives
    • Scan for potentially unsafe applications
    • Enable Anti-Stealth technology
  • Ensure Remove found threats is unchecked.
  • Click Start.
  • Wait for the scan to finish. Please be patient as this can take some time.
  • Upon completion, click [external image: esetListThreats.png]. If no threats were found, skip the next two bullet points. 
  • Click [external image: esetExport.png] and save the file to your Desktop, naming it something unique such as MyEsetScan.
  • Push the Back button.
  • Place a checkmark next to [external image: xKN1w2nv.png.pagespeed.ic.JWqIaEgZi7.png] and click [external image: SzOC1p0.png.pagespeed.ce.OWDP45O6oG.png].
  • Re-enable your anti-virus software.
  • Copy the contents of the log and paste in your next reply.
