Uninstall the Avast... I'm a pro computer user... You don't need anti-virus
All u need is a USB security software and Microsoft essential security which you can download for free
And... Go to start menu/Run/ and type "msconfig" then go to "Startup" tab in new window and look for unnecessary programs which run at the beginning... If you don't know the program in the list, leave it... it might be essential
one more thing: try cleaning up: Start menu/Accessories/System tools/Disk clean up

try cleaning up your computer, throw away files you don't need, and try to defrag your hdd
the less your pc needs to load the faster it goes
