I tried Avast free a few years ago and wasn't impressed. Finally switched to Norton paid. Then they got a little too big for their britches so I gave Avast a try again. It's better now.
As for your PC getting too slow, there are many things that could cause this. Here's a few:
1. hard drive too full (not a usual problem, but possible)
2. too much bloatware on the PC (this is the likely cause - find what programs are running, figure out what you don't need and get rid of them)
3. download CCleaner and run that. It will help get rid of a LOT of junk files.
4. Give Malwarebytes a try. The paid version works in real time, but if you don't frequent questionable sites, then running the program once a month should work just fine.
5. Depending on your version of Windows, you may need to run Disk Defrag (look up how for your version of Windows). If this has never been done, then reboot your PC before bed to give it a fresh start, then run Defrag overnight. It may take several hours. It also may be that Defrag might have to re-start several times if things are bad enough.
There are other things that can be done, but that will be a good start. Anything that Avast, CCleaner or Malwarebytes can scan for, whether the free version can fix or not, will at least help you identify other problems that need attention. Don't know how long you've had your PC, but just remember, it didn't get this way overnight. Don't expect an overnight cure. It will take some work.
I used to see websites as well that would offer to "fix" slow computers as well. I have no experience with them, so cannot comment.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
