Just uninstall everything you know you don't need/use
That's it, no need for 3rd party software

Revo Uninstaller. Trust me it's magical. It's not the quickest but it's the most thorough

I use Symantec, the only problem is that it detects 'potentially' malicious files as malware, but you can configure the insight. I don't really like CCcleaner.

Also, why do I have a BitDefender ad while typing this?c Weird.
