Windows 10: Slow and unresponsive laptop

My old laptop started slowing down and going unresponsive. I thought it was getting ready to crash so I purchased a new one. I transferred everything to the new laptop and it is doing the same thing. When I first start the computer, it runs fine. After some time, it starts slowing down and eventually goes unresponsive. If I have more than one tab open on the internet, I can’t open them. The tabs don’t highlight when I mouse over them. Apps on the tool bar will not highlight or open. Links within an article will not highlight or open. Email will not open. Pages will not scroll. I have to restart the computer to get it operational again. If the Windows start button is unresponsive, I have to restart by using the power button. Sometimes the mouse stops moving. I can hear the computer working hard as if a scan is running in the back ground but the task manager only shows whatever app I have open at the time. Malwarebytes tray application always shows in the task manager. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when it started. As I said it was happening on my old computer too. It seems like it started about the time I installed Norton Security and Norton VPN. I have read about incompatibility issues but Norton says they have fixed those. I run Spybot Search and Destroy, and Malwarebytes Anti Malware regularly. I have turned off all background apps with the exception of clock, and calendar. I have downloaded and used Norton Power eraser – running the unwanted app scan, and checking for risks. I’m running Windows 10 version 1809. I have 8GB installed RAM with 7.64 still usable. Any help will be appreciated. Please keep in mind, I am not computer savvy. I might need a bit more explanation with fixes. Thank you in advance.
