A few days ago, my browser started running very slowly, so i assumed it was a virus, which it was when I installed AVG, which then removed all malware. My laptop was fine until a couple of days ago when not only the browser but the entire OS slowed down (takes 3 seconds to open the right click menu on desktop with no background programs). Ive done several virus scans, updates, restarts, cleans etc, but i cant find the issue.

my laptop is an Acer Aspire 5750 so you can see the specs.
