Let's get your PC specs...
get Speccy from here; https://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into a post.
One component Speccy doesn’t cover is the Power Supply Unit, so please also include the make/model of the PSU.
when was the last time you rebooted your network, that is, modem, router, hubs, switches, etc?
try that as a potential quick fix.
when did you last do any maintenance on the PC?
use Glary Disk Cleaner, or CCleaner to get started down that path.

Thanks, buddy .
Below are the speccy details. Also, I don't have any hardware knowledge. So is there a way to find details of PSU thru software? I don't even know how that looks like
BTW i have checked system with Malwarebytes yesterday itself . There was nothing found
did you reboot any of your network devices?
have you run CCleaner?
for the power supply unit, you'll have to open the case up and look where the power cable goes connects to the PC.
there, you'll see a sticker on the power supply saying brand, make and model.

no not specifically ccleaner . But malware bytes i have run .
And i havent rebooted any of my network devices . Do u mean turning on and off the internet connection (when u ask about rebooting network device ?)
yep, turn off at the power source your modem and wireless router if you have one, and anything else that is related to you connecting to the internet.
MBAM is a good start, and looks for malware, but CCLeaner will also remove general crap, which can sometimes help speed up a slow PC.

Couple of observations;
You have two different specs of RAM with the wrong stick slowing down the correct stick, the wrong stick is also drawing too much voltage at 1.5 when it should only be 1.35V, this is not only damaging hardware wise but also performance, this and the below is causing high memory usage.
Best performance would be gotten from two matching 4GB sticks of DDR3 1600MHz RAM.
You have two AVs running, why this is bad and what you should do below;
Having more than one AV or Firewall installed on your computer is bad, it will slow down the computer, cause internet connection problems and leave you with no AV protection at all if they cancel each other out as they fight for resources.
Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 come with an improved Windows Defender, it offers the same real-time anti-virus/anti-malware protection as Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender also shares the same malware signature definitions as Microsoft Security Essentials, and Forefront Endpoint Protection. Technically, Microsoft Security Essentials has not been renamed Windows Defender, or combined with it in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
If any AV product that you have is a paid for version you should always make sure that you have a copy of the product key kept somewhere safe just in case you ever wish to reinstall it.
Removal tool for Kaspersky here
Once any other AV has been correctly uninstalled, check to see if Windows Defender has auto enabled and allow it to update and carry out a full scan of your computer.
Once done, restart, test by using the computer as you normally, post back with an update when you are ready.

You need to purchase 2 X 4GB sticks of RAM like the stuff here
Download from the link above and then run the tool.
You are welcome but can I ask that you do not quote every reply as we have to read the full post to make sure nothing gets missed,, thanks.
Well that is real strange as what is shown to be protecting your computer is a subscription based AV provided by Kaspersky and run from one of their servers, that is why you cannot find it in your list of programs.
You need to read and follow all of the guidance at the link here no one here can help you with the steps as you have to be in front of the computer.
