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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
