While i was at logon screen, it was taken 30 to 1 minute to get into desktop and it's getting little frustrated

Using Windows 8.1 home with spring update
Latest driver software update software installed
Latest Windows updates and hotfixes installed
Latest softwares update installed

The things i tried:
Did defrag hard disk with Windows built in
Scanned with Malwarebyes Anti Malware, no threats found
Scanned with AVG, no threats found
Checked with CrystalDiskInfo, still healthy
Checked with SeaTools, passed short drive self test
Cleaned up temp with CCleaner
Cleaned up registry with CCleaner
Did sfc /scannow in elevated command prompt, no corrupt files found

i didn't remember, about 1 to 3 weeks ago

i think it cause a conflict when explorer.exe processes with AVG and Classic Shell start menu at a time

Please Create a restore point. Your PC is running slow So I would say Programs stealing resources. Open up Task Manager and see if anything is causing any categories to reach 100% and into the red. Check each category for a program using a lot of resources. If you see something using a lot of resources you might want to close it. If it does not close, you might have to force it. Try right click and end task. You can try close system tray programs. Some run in the system tray. Startup programs disable all you don't need these can slow down the login process

I'm not sure I see your point. But yes you can install Avast.

Don't delete them. They're tagged as inconclusive by herdprotect

I would like you to perform a clean boot and let us know if you see a difference
