Anything made by Samsung will be fast. Kingston, Toshiba, Crucial, and SanDisk all generally make good SSDs, to name a few brands. Once you have an SSD, defraging is no longer a requirement. In fact all it will do is put unnecessary wear on your drive.

You don't need to clean out cookies. Those are rarely the source of a slow computer... all that will do is erase your saved passwords and such. Also, it's a good idea NOT to run two antivirus software programs at the same time! They can conflict with each other, eating CPU cycles and fighting each other. If you insist on using AVG, stick with it and use only it. Malwarebytes is technically anti-malware, not anit-virus and doesn't run in the background like AVG will, so it's safe to use Malwarebytes in addition to antivirus software.
Figured as much about the RAM!

I'll keep that in mind about not running a second antivirus, I thought that would be a bad idea when I read to remove any preexisting antivirus before installing the AVG.
