Avast, AVG and Malwarebytes all have free versions and all are good.

The shop that made my computer said that Kaspersky is the best. I'm not sure if they have a free version but I was happy to pay for the peace of mind it gives me.

Does he ever go to delete his browsing data, cookies, temp files etc.? Sometimes computers slow down because they are stuffed with cookies and files. It might help to run MalwareBytes to see if there is any junk on there. Or another program that is similar.
