    You only need one piece of antispyware software running. If Ad-aware is a freeware version, then it isn't a problem because it isn't constantly running. CCleaner is also a piece of software that isn't running all the time so that isn't a problem, running Spybot and both Spy Terminator (if they are constantly providing real time protection) will slow down startup. You haven't mentioned any antivirus or firewall software, so if you aren't running this, it is something that is leaving a potential security hole in your system.

    Have a read of this article on how to speed up and clean up your PC.
