Slow after 2 years heavy useage

F.Y.I.
sda* are your disk drives/partitions.
If you have any sdb* elements those would be external drives.
sda* and sdb* should be determinable by the size of your HDD for example ;

dev/sda1 = 41838592 which is the same as saying drive c: = 42GB
If you have 8 sda* (where * = the number / letter of a drive) then you have to determine the biggest size, this would likely be your C:

A screenshot would be more helpful.

Good morning Compton,

It took scanning FOREVER, I go to sleep before it finishes. On the morning, I don't know what happened, Bitdefender showing its desktop only and it stopped working (it freezes completely). I tried to click by mouse and push esc button... etc., nothing happened still freezing. Also, my laptop fan was at its maximum speed. I did not know what to do, I just shuted-down and rebooted the system.

Should I rescan using it again? (maybe I will do scanning next week, because its time consuming & I am busy on this whole week).

Thanks for help, Compton!

Bitdefender is a bit heavy

Dr.Web should do a lot better Dr.Web® LiveDisk

Hello back Compton!

Sorry, I did not notice your comment early about using Dr. Web. I scanned the system 2 times using Bitdefender today and it failed.

Yesterday night, I put it on scan and go to sleep , in the morning black screen showed, it says:

This rescued.unknown_domain linux i686 gentoo ..
Type login password:

then, I restarted the system, in launch it started repairs and system check.

Second time I was on-screen to see what will happen, after +2 hours the scanning window disappeared and showed Bitdefnder desktop, I opened the scanner, and after 10 seconds and disappeared and frozen completely.  

I will do a scan using it on Monday. But could you please provide a link on how to use/scan with Dr. Web.

Thank you.

Hey Compton,

I did a scan using Dr. Web, and it detected 5 threats only, (they was from adwCleaner path on my system!).

Still the systems runs slow, not much improved on speed. What we can do next?

Thank you.
