Hello, I have downloaded bitcoin core to make my wallet more secure. Now It needs to download all blockchain and It says: synchronizing with network: 2 years 45 weeks behind.
Why It is so slow? I will really need to wait over 2 years?

Its not the time you have to wait. Its the time between the last block you have (from 2 years, 45 weeks ago) to the current one.
You can use the bootstrap torrent (google / search the board for it).
And also use this (was posted in the german subboard a few days ago and is the most recent downloadable copy I know of)

Both will speed up the process. Make sure you shut down the client before you copy the data in the respective directory.
