I guess not. As far as bugs and malware goes, yes. My registry updates each computer usage and it runs a full virus scan each week. It's F-secure, provided by Charter, my internet provider and has always seemed to catch things and protect me.
I would get rid of the Anti Virus provided by your ISP. This is probably nothing more than tracking software to keep track of where you go what you write and so forth so other companies can target ads and spam to you on FB Twitter and almost every other site you visit. This is $$ to your ISP. Download a free AV like Bitdefender...rated as top Editors pick by PC Magazine. Your AV from the ISP is undoubtedly slowing your system down.
While IE 11 and 12 are much faster than their predecessors they are still not as good or as SECURE as Firefox. There is a reason people are telling you to change.
Go into your startup utility and see what is starting up when you turn your computer on...disable most of the unecessary programs. Just google the names of each and you will get a very quick idea which are needed and which are not. This will not mean you cannot get those to startup they just wont do it automatically. These really slow you down.
Now download a program like MalwareBytes. Its free and it works very well. Companies use it to clean their systems. Run it and it will clean up a lot of junk that could be slowing you down.
Again if you can't get IE to work then download the Firefox and use it to get your system clean...then go back to IE if you want. But my bet is you wont.
There are many other things you could do but it is too lengthy to explain here. For help on doing any of this just google the problem and you will find a good answer (Usually)
Hope this helps.
