-Some kind of Ad/Spyware Cleaner
If you can give me some suggestions for the above items and any additional programs that would be great. Also, how often should a defrag be done?

You neglected to say what version of Windows you are using.
I'm starting to hear some bad things about the newer AVG becoming a bloated nuisance. I tend to prefer Avast, but if you are comfortable with AVG and aren't having any issues, you're fine.
Say NO to the registry cleaner. At best, it is a waste of time. At worst it will screw your system.
