I don't use an antivirus myself.
Someone in the forums mentionned Sophos but the installation was said to be not so simple.
Looking at your description I see Pentium4, 4GB with a GTX 960 video card and running on Linux 32bits 3.8?
Anyhoo, I think maybe a Single core processor 'could' be a problem.
A Celeron/Sempron CPU will be awfully slow in many scenarios... Pentium 4 should be a little faster but still, from 13+ years ago.
Unfortunately, the Pentium 4's were not a good CPU architecture, even first generation Core i3 were faster the the best P4 3.8GHz.https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/In...1003vsm132
Also, the GeForce 960GTX came out in 2015. Even the GeForce 2x0 were said to bottle neck the Pentium 4.... so it's overkill in the system.
Anyhoooo2. If the slowness is not related to the prehistoric hardware
... I had an idea to check your CPU temp? If a CPU gets hot, it will slow down.
So, if a CPU heatsink is loose and not in full contact with the CPU surface, this will take just a few seconds and it will crawl and cry.CPU temp should be about 70c or below.https://www.hipatic.com/2008/12/cpu-temp...ntium.html
