Solved Getting a lot of unusual lag

Note: OTL doesn't remove old restore points with that little script. I did it myself manually after running it.
#2 - done, but most I had to delete myself.
#3 - windows is up to date.
#4 - what did I have on here? I can't do this without knowing that.
#5 - Most say "unknown" so they produce 0 result for update or otherwise
#6 - I use Avast which comes with a similar product, why should I have both?
#7 - clean scan on malwarebytes
#9 - downloaded, used, but am deleting. I don't download new programs. In fact, I don't download much of anything and if I do I scan it with Avast before opening.
#10 - Already use it anyways.
#13 - Read, but I haven't done p2p/download/porn etc since College, years ago..so I don't know how I get infected nor how to prevent it based on the post. I already have the things they mention having/keeping upto date too, so it's obviously not working. I don't open attachments on email/chat etc either.

I'll let you know about 14 shortly.
 
It seems to be running better now. Pages are loading faster and all. Still working on the last few program updates though, so not 100% done, but I assume since I have done updates for all the programs before that I won't have issues afterwards.
 
4. Your passwords should be fine.
5. No need for both.

Good luck and stay safe :)
