There has been some threads at Malwarebytes Forum about MBAM being a resource hog. I think it might be the one also there. The office has an old Acer Aspire with 8gb ram and it has Avast IS 2017 with ZAM Free. I do not feel any slowing when we use ti to play in hiding :) Is there enough space HDD wise? Might also be related to space issues.

You can try ESET AV/IS as it is fine on majority cases of computer specifications next to Avira.

In my opinion you are using too many realtime applications. I would stick with one AV (my choice would be avast it is lighter than avg and also free) and disable realtime scanning in both Malwarebytes & zemana (if it's on) and use them as on demand scanner only.
About that error you are getting, could you post a screenshot of device manager.
Btw i also have that same processor in my laptop, it's quite good for battery backup.

Looks like drivers are already installed by win10 automatically. When you right click on desktop do you see any "amd settings", "radeon settings", or "switchable graphics" option?
If not that means you have to install amd software yourself. You have two options either go for older catalyst drivers or newer crimson ones.
Safer approach would be to go to your laptop manufacturer's website and find your model and download the software.
If either that fails or your laptop manufacturer doesn't support win 10 for this model, then you could try my steps i posted in previous reply.

I don't think your setup of apu graphics+gpu supports crossfire (simultaneous use of both gpus). However, it does support switchable graphics. You can Google it to know what it means.

The M230 is a rebadged HD 8500 series GPU

So the 2 are same

Just different in name at driver install
Yes, and it's actually funny that they change their name with different driver versions. When i bought this laptop, i checked device manager and i thought i was ripped of by Flipkart (Indian online shopping site). But then i installed newer drivers and voila:D
