akshayv10,
Certain programs use more resources than others. Some virus programs use more resources than others.
Try reading...
Windows startup programs. What are they? Are they required? How can I disable them?
Have you scanned for malware? Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware update it and do a quick scan remove anything it finds.

Hi akshayv10,
I would suggest you to check the status of wireless connection in Safe mode with networking option. To boot to Safe mode with networking, restart the computer and keep tapping F8 on Dell logo until you get the Advanced boot options page. On that page you would find the Safemode with networking option. If the wireless connections are still slow in Safe mode with networking, try updating wireless router's firmware to the latest version available on vendor’s website.
For more information on wireless networking, please refer to the links mentioned below:

Kindly revert for further clarifications.
