Ccleaner from Piriform is good. I use Malewarebytes too, good for the occasional scan, had the free trial for full version but switched back to free. I use Avast free as my anti virus, never had a problem yet.
You can do a Google search and turn of some of the window's crap too, like defender, no point in it running with an current AV or Anti-Malware software.
Along with Ccleaner's Registry cleaner you have their version of the windows start-up control, you can check what's all running at start-up and disable or delete any unnecessary stuff like Google updates, adobe updates and that.
