My laptop has become very slow without no reason. I didnt mess with ANY settings before it happened. I have also scanned the laptop with AVG Anti-virus, Avira Anti-virus, Spybot search and destroy, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Windows Defender, Windows Malicious Removal Tool, Ad-aware, just to name a few (now they are uninstalled). Some of them found malware/trojans and removed it, but it didnt fix the problem - its still very slow. Recently i checked the Task Manager and found out that svchost.exe process was taking around 90mb, using 100 percent CPU. I went to Services and disabled Automatic Updates and BITS (which is needed by automatic updates). Since then svchost is stable 39mb (its only 20mb on my double more powerful pc). I see some improvement in computer speed, but its still slow. I'm not sure if my laptop is infected with malware or no, because i scanned for it and removed all that could be found. Maybe I should disable some services, processes, or uninstal programs? Please help me out
BTW: On My Computer-Advanced-Performance settings- I adjusted it all for best performance.

Globetrotter allows me to connect to internet with my Option GlobeTrotter 3G+ card, I assume its safe (in case you dont know what Globetrotter is).
