So, before even bothering with extra scanning (which I do highly recommend MalwareBytes), turn off the tea timer in Spybot (tools>Advanced Mode>Resident>uncheck tea timer), reboot and see if the system seems more response.

Part of the issue too is that Avast will be scanning your system files as they are accessed as well as temp directories, too. Sometimes it's a 'too many cooks in the kitchen' sort of scenario. It's good to be secure but the programs tend to want to fight.

Strong possibility I use spybot but not tea timer I just scan weekly and let CCleaner have a go at the system too just be sure to take the time to pick out the cookies you want to keep or CCleaner will trash all cookies which can be a pain as all your usual sites ask you to login.
