 :)  Hi :

 Never heard of "mwab pro" ; IF it is supposed to be an antiVIRUS program,
 then you should uninstall it since security Principles say ONLY 1 antiVIRUS
 program should be providing real-time protection at any moment in time .

Hi pmal67. Merry Christmas.
What sensitivity levels do you have the providers set to, and what version is it? (4.8 or 5B)?

Welcome pmal67

I am running avast! MBAM Pro without a problem.

What are your system specifications as to CPU type and speed and how much RAM does the system have?

Using Guttman with CCleaner is a waste of time unless you are afraid of having illegal material on your system like kiddy pr0n and being discovered.

gutmann doesn't make your system cleaner. System is clean as soon as unwanted data is just marked as deleted and Windows can't access it anymore. 35 x pass with CCleaner is just there to prevent the cops or your parents from recovering "sensitive" data that you "deleted"  ;D ...again, nothing to do with a "cleaner" system  :D

PC slowdowns over time are often the result of having too many programs running at start up. A lot of programs are configured to do this. Where you don't actually need something to run every time you turn the computer on, it should be configured to not start with Windows.
This does not apply to security programs, it is important that they do start with Windows.
How long since you've done a disk defrag?
If you look in control panel>system, what are your system specs (RAM and CPU, and Windows version/SP?)
If you right-click each drive present and select "properties", what is the percentage of disk space used?

It is normal for "system idle process" to be in the high nineties in task manager, when not much else is happening, if that's what you mean.
And the answers to the other questions, please?
