I'm not convinced your computer is clean, depending on what the "big
size .rar file" was. For instance - and I don't want to know - if it were a
pirated movie that you needed a peculiar codec for and you then installed
that codec (most usually not a codec but a virulent trojan) then.... And
scanning with AVG isn't thorough enough. Defragmenting has nothing to do
with your issues.
So, here are some things to try:
A. Malware scanning
Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware
Be thorough and do all the prep work. If the machine is extremely infected,
back up your data and restore to factory condition. Refer to your owner's
manual or the tech support website to see how to do that.
B. If you do the thorough work from A. above and determine that truly the
machine is not infected, back up your data and:
1. First try a System Restore to when things worked.
2. If System Restore doesn't work, run the System File Checker:
a. Start Orb>Search box>type: cmd [when cmd appears above, right-click it
and choose "Run as administrator"].
b. At the command prompt, type:
sfc /scannow [enter]
3. If #1 and #2 don't work, then you can try repairing the system by doing
an "upgrade" install. Here is MVP John Barnett's page about doing that:

4. If nothing works, back up your data and do a restore to factory condition
and start over.
Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech;
suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself
(and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent
of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be
so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have
all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
