Posted this in chat. My apologies if this shows up on the general board. Not my intention, of course.

I'll tell you what I use:
(1) "Evidence Eliminator" (I can't help the name). The best utility for scrubbing cookies and trash from your PC.
(2) Ad-Aware for removing spyware, plus SpyBot Search and Destroy.
(3) Norton's good old reliable Speed Disk for defragging. A decent alternative is O&O Software's Defrag Pro.
(4) Registry First Aid. Finest Kind.
(5) Norton's good old "Win Doc". I usually run it FIRST, and let Registry First Aid clean up what it misses.
(6) IMPORTANT: Get a good back-up product and USE IT REGULARLY. My personal favorite is NOVABACK, by NovaStor Corp.
Them's my 2 cents.

Don't forget (as I almost did): get a decent firewall. I use Zone Alarm Pro. Also Don't Forget a decent anti-virus and keep it updated. I was a longtime fan of McAfee until their latest release cost me a day of effort and I could never install it.
They drove me to Norton, so now I use Norton anti-virus.

Try VCOM's System Suite, has a firewall, Power Desk and I think Trend's anti virus, all in one package.
