Answer 1

as quite few people have already pointed out it seems that you have quite a virus running around inside your system. I strong recommend that you seriously think about the apps that you want on your system then remove the others . once you have done this.Things like defrag etc and apps patch's should be downloaded from all the sites etc that you get yours from. But also concentrate on virus's adware, malware and of of course Internet security ie a good fire wall and get it patched.

After you have done all of the above keep on top on patching your major apps and downloading virus signatures - no these are no virus - just a description to the anti -virus software as what to look for when checking for virus's.

if you are still not happy with the speed of your system have you considered that maybe you might need a part(s) upgrade.

More memory is always a good one to choose. Or maybe a better hard disk. You never did mention what you were doing when you said that you system seems slow.
