>Replace Avast!
You don't actually need to replace Avast! if you don't want. Avast! is a first-level security program, which means that every now and then something may get through, but it's better than nothing. AVG and MSE are the 2 next most recommended 1st level Antiviruses. If Avast! works for you then I wouldn't change it, I'm just giving you options.
It's not a good idea to combine a file cleaner with defragging software. Really CCleaner and Defraggler should be all you need to replace Advanced Systemcare. CCleaner will actually link itself to your recycle bin so you can run it every time you right click on the recycle bin. Defraggler has a schedule feature so you can schedule your defrag to happen whenever you want.
Spybot and Malwarebytes are for deep-level cleaning. Spybot is good at catching things that fall through the cracks, and features registry protection and a secure file deleter. Malewarebytes free version is one of the best programs when it comes to cleaning any infected files you actually get. These would be more the second line of defense and are not, strictly speaking, necessary (unless you actually get infected).
Really you'd only need 2 programs, CCleaner and Defraggler. Just giving you options man.

Peer Guardian was what we used back in the Kazaa days when torrents where just starting up. I haven't used it in a while, but I recall it being a list of known federal and RIAA-affiliated IP addresses, and software that would block those addresses from connecting to your computer. Good for avoiding "snitches" in the swarm. But kind of "hurr durr" in terms of actual security - running without it hasn't really affected me.
If you really give a shit just get Tor.
