I see your using a 5400 rpm maniacal hard drive which is not fast, is the drive full?
How long have you had this problem?
When did the problem start to happen? after a update? after you installed a program?
How much ram do you have?
What CPU do you have?
Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Make sure that Addition option is checked.
Press Scan button and wait.
The tool will produce two logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
Please copy and paste their content into your next reply.

This is never going to be a super fast laptop, so things to check.
Make sure Laptop is free from Malware
Run SFC /Scannow
Run Chkdsk
Uninstall Kaspersky and see if it improves
Disable Fast Boot
Update Windows
Update all Drivers ie Chipset, Graphics Driver
Disable ULPS, do a search in registry for EnableUlps and set it to 0
Change to settings High Performance plan
Disable unnecessary services
Control Panel> Click on System> Click on Advanced System Settings> Advanced tab, click on Settings in the Performance box
Disable these:
Animations in the taskbar
Enable Peek
Fade or slide menus into view
Fade or slide ToolTips into view
Fade out menu items after click
Slide open combo boxes
Disable any others you don't need.
Hope this help
