Its advisable to use Disk Cleanup utility that comes naively installed in windows 7, atleast once a week for a regular PC user. Also, dont forget to defragment your harddisk using Disk Defranmenter of Windows 7. Better the files remain uncluttered in your hard disk, its more smooth to run.

To clean junk files, if you are not sure to do it manually, you can use a freeware named CCleaner.

On the Security side, its better to use either Malwarebytes Antimalware or Microsoft Malacious Software removal tool. As you all aware of “cannot-be-overlooked” computer Viruses, spreading its wings both on the net and offline, we need some antivirus softwares. Microsoft offers Microsoft Security Essentials free of cost to Windows users or you can use FreeAvast Antivirus, or NOD32 , Norton AntiVirus as paid options.
