Computer running very slow at startup

[Idk2095]

title explains most of the issue, I have no programs on startup except on, which is avast anti virus, I defrag my hard drive daily.
System specs:
amd fx-4300
R7 260x
8 gb of ddr3
1 TB HHD 568 gb free of 931
500 watt Corsair CX 500 PSU

When my pc started, I got an alert by my anti virus saying I got a pup as svchost.exe in my system 32, and it got removed im nto sure if this was a virus, or was a legit file my avast is currently in hardened aggrsssive mode.

Are you using a laptop and if you are how old is this laptop?

 

[Idk2095]

No im using a desktop this desktop is less than a year old, I bought this pc on amazon http://amzn.to/2veeQqv And the PSU was trash so it burnt itself and the motherboard in less than 2 weeks so i replaced them and got the 78lmt-usb 3 motherboard and the corsair cx 500
i also changed the gpu as the noraml stock one was trash for gaming as well, cost 500$ and was NOT worth it

Have you tried booting into safe mode and seeing if the computer is still slow when booting into safemode?

 

[Idk2095]

Its a lot faster during safe mode but i disabled everything in ms config and task manager except miscrosoft services and my anti virus

It shouldnt have anything to do with your hard drive space. You should definitely not be removing svchost.exe as it is an official microsoft service. Theres a chance it was replaced by a virus but that's very very unlikely, especially if its located in System32. A general rule of thumb is to never delete anything from System32. Has this been happening for a while or just recently? I would try to restore to an earlier point or find a way to replace that svchost file as it was more than likely a false-positive by your AV. Download "Malwarebytes ADWcleaner" and see if that gives you any success.

The process is svchost.exe but the filename was hook.dll

I have avast and malware bytes already avast picked up svchost.exe from hook.dll as a PUP
Currently im in hardened aggressive mode in avast
