okay- Defragmentation will only free a tiny bit of space, deleting unnecessary data would be better.

You don't clean the prefetch, It's there for a reason, and you are [strike]not[/strike] suppost to clean it as to helps speed boot up.
You will be amazed at how much dust will get into your laptop, it doesn't take long, even in a clean environment.

Quick Heal is a crap antivirus program, it won't block many of the threats heading to your PC...it's not very good (sorry)
From what I am reading in reports, Quick Heal is only popular in India and everyone with it will surely get infected due to the poor protection.

If you want to go free-

Avast AV free
Comodo Firewall Free

--extras for deeper scanning--
Spybot S&D
Malewarebytes

Avast and comodo would be your main AV, Spybot and Malewarebytes would be for things the other two can't clean.

Okay, I would suggest with Avast Internet Security as it has a good balance of features and cost-

you should still download Spybot and malwarebytes (they are free for personal use) as they are more specialized for certain types of infection.
