If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

No, it's just called CCleaner, a free utility by Piriform Software. It used to be called something borderline-suitable for a family-friendly forum... They have a free disk defragmenter that I think is pretty good, too. (Download these directly from Piriform if you want them; as some of the 'suggested' downloading services are full of just the sort of malware drive-bys the software is supposed to be protecting you against...)
Also get, and run regularly, the malwarebytes 'free' version of the Anti-Malware program.
I used to run Ad-Aware, years ago, as a means of identifying and removing some of the more egregious targeted-advertising trackers and such. I will have to see if the 'new' version, which is supposed to be radically different, is still useful. Don't let any of these programs install anything like Google Chrome, or reset your search engine to Bing, or whatever, when you install them -- watch those little options and checkboxes!
