What software for PC cleaning is really needed?

I'm from the era of Windows XP/7, where you had to have programs like Avast or something similar to keep your PC free of junk and running well. These days, I've been using Advanced Systemcare, I0bit Malware fighter, Smart Defrag, etc--more out of habit than anything, since that's what my uncle used. So, I ask: What software do I really need installed on my PC?

     If you want extra peace of mind, you can keep a reputable free malware scanner like Malwarebytes (not a full antivirus, just a scanner for malware).
