Slow system
My system has gotten slower and slower. Rebooting takes a few minutes. Applications take long times to load. Once they are open, most work well. I occasionally have issues with Word where it says it cannot make backups, so I use CCleaner to reset permissions and that seems to do the trick. I frequently clear my caches. Most of my software is up to date (except Flash, which I'll update today). Sometimes I do notice that Sophos Anti-Virus is downloading when it is slow.
Attached is my systems report from Etre:
