Do you know what model the HDD is? If not I'll show you how to find it.

Two possible solutions come to mind:

1) You might have a huge amount of programs starting at bootup. This isn't an uncommon problem, and is fairly easy to fix. Here is a very good tutorial that walks you through how to reduce the number of startup programs you are running:

2) If you can afford the upgrade, replacing your current HDD with an SSD would provide an enormous improvement in your laptop's speed. If you are currently using 150GB you'll need to look at something in the 250GB range at a minimum. Here is a great 250GB SSD to consider if it is a possibility for you:

**There is also a chance that your hard drive is wearing out. You might want to run a hard disk diagnostic program just to be sure of your drive's overall health. Here is a good free disk diagnostic tool:

@glandringfh It might also be that the HDD Is outdated, I was going to see if it was a hitachi model as some of those are known to slow down suddenly.

That's a Western Digital Blue drive, so it would be unusual if the drive itself was failing on you after only 3 months.

It sounds to me like there is still a possibility you have a virus or malware. Since Avast & Malwarebytes didn't pick up on it there is a chance you have something on your bootloader. Next step I would try would be to download the Kaspersky Rescue Disk from the link below, burn it to a CD/DVD, and run the CD at bootup. See if that can track down any possible viruses that could be hiding:
