I switched on my laptop at 9 o’clock this morning and it is now 14:00 hours, where in after a series of reboots, hard or soft, I am able to open my browser.
I opened a notepad and noted down following services and processes running on my system which right from the start consumes 1.32 GB of memory.
1.32 GB Memory is in use
Chrome browser is closed when I was viewing the taskmanager and using notepad
it is showing me a lot of instances of chrome.exe process when I am using only notepad.
csrss.exe with out username is running.
Physical Memory in use is 37%

Kaspersky Antivirus 2012 is installed on this system what could be the problem and what should I look in?
UPDATE
The system has become so slow that when I try to refresh page on Superuser I get following
408 Request Time-out
Your browser didn't send a complete request in time
Programmes installed on my system
Skype,
Photoshop
Eclipse
Wamp
Firefox
Nokia PC Suite
Scanner Software
UPDATE 2
as per some comments to disable unnecessary programmes via msconfig rather than msconfig opening I get following pop up after a delay of 15 minutes (after typing msconfig in start menu)
"C\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe" the operation returned because timeout period expired.
Ok I go to safe mode type msconfig disable almost every thing and reboot unfortunately even now I can not read a pdf in normal mode the system has become so slow that it can not be used. I am posting these questions from a different machine.

Two things to note here:
1) Chrome is very resource intensive depending on what is installed. Open up the browser, in the upper right corner you should see the three bars next to the favorites star icon- click it. Go to tools > Task manager > view the resources it's running. Above task manager, in the drop down menu, was the 'Extensions' option. Go there to disable anything you don't need/want.
2) Click on the bars > Settings > scroll to bottom and select 'Show advanced settings' > scroll to bottom again and uncheck 'continue running background apps...' > Restart chrome
Note: You can also run 'msconfig' from the run box > Startup tab > disable Google auto Updates and anything else you don't need to load at startup. Obviously, you don't need Skype running in the background until you want to use it.
