Image Capture Extension consuming all the memory

I have a Macbook Pro from 2011 with OS X Yosemite, Iphoto 9.6 and Aperture 3.6. I always work with Aperture for my pictures. But since last weekend it works extremely slow. When I check the Activity Monitor I see that there is something like "Image Capture Extension" consuming a lot of memory and also Kernel_task.

When I force quit "Image Capture Extension", Aperture starts up but still extremely slow. Is this a hardware issue? Should I reinstall Aperture?

I think this started after I tried to work in Iphoto again (after long time) to order a photobook before Aperture and Iphoto will close. I had issues with ordering the photobook (see other discussion of me).

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Here is the report from EtherCheck, I have been able to remove some Adware via AdwareMedic but it seems there is still some there,

Also the startup items I cannot remove via Accounts.

For the rest everything looks quite OK, no?
