MacBook Pro 2014 model fan noise and slow

Yesterday I was using my laptop the whole day and it was working perfectly. Then this morning I turned it on and the fan is VERY noisy and the computer is very slow. It is not hot so it cannot be over heating. Have been googling all day to see what is wrong and can't find anything. I have gone to the Activity Monitor and taken a screenshot of what it is saying, but it means nothing to me so I am here in hopes of someone out there knowing 🙂 I do not live in close proximity to an iStore and therefore taking it to one is a last resort! Please help me! 😟

I am not too tech savvy and so please give me steps on what to do 🙂

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), Yosimite 10.10.5

My apologies, I gave you some incorrect information. If a third party item was responsible, then it might not affect the MBP in safe mode. Since the issue still exists, it may be something else. Run an Apple Hardware Test:

Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.

Also download and post an Etrecheck Report. That may offer some clues:

Have you tried a SMC reset?

Perform a safe boot:

Does the problem still exist? If so, then is suggests a third party application mat be the culprit.

yes I have. This may be a stupid question, but the instructions say the left side keys, my left cmd button does work, will it actually make any difference if the right buttons are pressed instead?
