A couple more things to try would be to disable your Network card in the device manager. This stops all software from phoning home. Second if you are running any anti-malware programs turn them off also.

Is anything else running in the background? Maybe WiFi or BlueTooth? Anything running can cause slowdowns as your CPU is divided in tasks it must perform.

It has been asked if you are using an internal or external HD. If you are not using SSD what are your "normal" HDs speeds? A 5400 RPM HD is a lot slower that a 7200 RPM HD.

Lastly you are running two anti-virus programs? Everything that I had read says this is a no no. You may want to select only one.

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
