E1-2500 (1.4ghz)
4gb of ram
amd hd 8200 (512 mb of gpu mem)
500 gb HDD

what is your antivirus?

as an additional protection, you can use free versions of
1. spybot search and destroy
2. malwarebytes antimalware

download from their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ websites or mirror download from:

http://filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/

https://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbam_current/

after installation, update definitions and run the programs one at a time.
depending on how fast or slow the cpu is, scans may take a few minutes to more than an hour.

just sked avast full pc scan when you are about to sleep but set pc/laptop monitor to turn off after a minutes and hdd to on always so your laptop will not hibernate or sleep when there is an inactivity.

say you sleep at 9pm.
do avast full pc scan before you go to sleep and perhaps by the time you wake up, it will have finished scan.
if there are suspicious files found, quarantine them.
(antiviruses are best for killing pc viruses)

then do malwarebytes pc scan (best for killing malwares) on your next available time.

then do spybot search and destroy (best for killing internet browser hijackers and other bots) on your next available time.

Most likely you installed real-time AV (Avast) without Disable Windows Defender (aka MS Security Essentials). WinOS hates it when u do this and as a result, often times yes you end up with a sluggish machine.

All you really need for realtime crap is Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, IObit Malware Fighter (which can and will all work together). Course Malwarebytes will not run in realtime unless u pay for it.

Then use Firefox or Chrome w/ AdBlock (turn the Malware Protection on)
And also apply the "No Tracking" feature in either Browser.
- in Chrome u can also download extensions from Google such as;
IBA Opt-out (by Google) and Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on (by Google)

I advise against Edge Browser for now because of the lack of extensions for that yet.
If u want IE back, it is there, but hidden; Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab > click "Change default browser back to IE" -or- u can launch IE other ways, from within Edge via the button in the upper-right; or go to IE's folder under Program Files (x86) and make a Shortcut from iexplore.exe

Also ensure u actually go download ALL Device Drivers for your system's hardware and install them. Do not rely on what any WinOS already has built-in. Opt out of Device Drivers from Windows Updates; unless they are ones for Microsoft Products, such as Xbox360/XboxOne Controllers.

Also please note u will not see "Windows Updates" via Control Panel in Win10. For that click Start Button/Menu and click Settings > Updates & Security

Usually Windows defender is disabled when a third party anti virus is installed.
