AVG has a free for life version.

But AVG, both free and pay versions is crap!
There are much better free alternatives such as Avria Anti-Vir:

and Active Virus Shield:

You have the free trial version of the Pro version of AVG, which has a time limit on it.
. Go to add/remove progs and get rid of it. Then open My Computer, look for Progs, and get rid of any traces left behind. Then go on the net and look for 'AVG free downloads'. Make sure you opt for the free version, as opposed to the trial version.
This will be the free version, which has no time limit. It is not as comprehensive as the full version - obviously - but I have been using it for 2 years with no problems.
Hope this helps.

AVG, is not all that good. Free or purchased.
Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.
This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.
What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.
I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.
If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.
Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).
Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.
Twister Trojan Antivirus V7
Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

If you prefer not to pay and wish to have a free antivirus program download the free AOL Active Virus Shield, powered by Karpersky engine Russia.

Just because the trial ran out doesn't mean your PC will run slow. Are you sure it isn't scanning for viruses while you are on it? It will slow your PC down significantly if it is.
And as one answerer already mentioned, AVG has a free Virus program so I would uninstall the old one and download the free one.
With Windows Defender and AVG, my PC has ran great.
