Disable uninstall antivirus, spyware removers, basically the machine should be dedicated to editing.
Yes, if you had that much stuff on the machine, start over, format the hardrive, and start clean (and try to stay clean :-).
Defragment hard drives, make sure your preview files and footage are on a separate drive, not on the OS side.
Finally, what format are your working with?

Here’s the thing. I can’t afford another computer which is dedicated to video encoding and editing. Same for a gaming rig. I have to infuse my gaming, editing, work computer into one.
But I’ll try disable my Avast. I have suspected a corrupted project file because yesterday after posting this, I have NO PROBLEMS creating a new project but when I try to open the existing one it hanged while loading.
I defragment my hard drives frequently, and what do you mean by preview files and footage? Do you mean the media like the raw, captured video files and the project file itself?
And I’m working with .mov (captured video format) and I render it in .mp4 (H.264)
