That prgram PC optimizer is not for cleaning viruses, it is used to clean and optimize your registry and clean up unneeded files found on your system and is not free, once you run the program, it checks your system and when it asks you if you would like to fix errors it finds, you will be prompted to purchase the software and right now the price is 9.99 for a 9 month license

There are a lot of sites that will search you PC for viruses, but to remove them you will usually be prompted to purchase something.

This from MS is free
Malicious Software Removal Tool

The avira is free

Here is another free antivirus that is avail - ClamWin
Free Antivirus for Windows - Open source GPL virus scanner

I don't understand what exactly are you saying. To sort out the problem of your browser you can optimize and update the browser.

If you are facing problem with avg anti virus then unistall and reinstall again it might solve your updating problem. You can find various free anti virus like avast, avira , superanti spyware etc.

To download pirated software, you should download only trusted sides. There is less possibility of spyware and malwares.
