4 A Good Anti-virus

In order for your computer to run better you have to make sure there is nothing already in your computer hurting it's performance.

Norton and Kaspersky are two very well rated anti-viruses but cost money.

There are also free programs out there, like AVG and IOBit's Security 360.

Make sure to scan your computer fequently , especially after downloading from the internet. Most anti-viruses also come with anti-spyware.

It's Kaspersky and they DO have a trial and tbh is the best AV out there that get s the job done and doesn't interfere with my gaming, or any other application. (like AVG etc)

and Readyboost doesn't help all that much on most systems. reason being if you don't know how to keep your computer clean... then you don't need this feature.
I work in 3D environments and call to my RAM usually to 100%, it helps a bit but it is just better to get extra ram at upgraded speeds.

Denote CCleaner in YOUR thread it isn't 100% foolproof safe, you can potentially fk some things up.

Advance Care is really probably the only decent app here beyond the AV's to average users.
