I don't wana do a windows reinstall because it will clear important thing that I have. Is there any other solution to this problem? can the problem be the overload of software on the computer?

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking.

Do some internet stuff. Do you have the same problems?

I would still say its AV etc scanning that is your problem you may not have all of the spyware in the try but MAL runs as a services so its scanning as well. You could download Diskmon
This will show whats going on with your HD and may prove the point. If you can test without connecting to the net disable AV etc and see if it happens then if your not connected it would be safe

The problems are gone in safe mode with networking.

I used dismon and there were a lot of entries and they wouldnt stop coming.

I disconnected the internet and it was the same result.

So something's loading in normal mode causing the problem.

Try some rigorous housekeeping, download:

CCleaner from CCleaner - Download
Then install.
I suggest when asked untick all the options apart from the top one

CCleaner:

Under the Cleaner section: select “Run Cleaner”

Under the Registry section: select “Scan for Issues”

(when asked about registry “Backup” save & then accept where it saves it to.)
then “Fix Selected Issues”

Do the Registry option again..(and again until no issues found)
