I clicked in a link and lots of files was sent to my download folder , I could delete it , but after that my computer became really slow .
I scanned with Avast , but it couldn't clean completely
I would uninstall Avast. It tends to interfere with the computer's operation while providing minimal to no benefit unless you work with Windows files. Most long time posters recommend not using antivirus software or cleaning software such as CleanMyMac.
What makes you think you have malware (note that there are very few "viruses" on any platform)? Did you install any of these downloads?
Try scan with malwarebytes.
You probably have some malware, no viruses.
