No. The avg security suite is awful, their firewall is utterly pathetic, and
a recent review of firewalls, that someone posted here, it seemed to fail
every test.

This is what you need:
i) A light anti virus, this could be AVG Free (custom install, no link
scanner), Avast free home edition or avir free anti virus
ii) A high quality anti spyware product, such as superantispyware and/or
malware bytes.
iii) A programme that makes preventative changes to your system, like
Spyware blaster
iv) A fully updated windows product, with firewall switched on, and latest
ie7
v) An alternative browser to internet explorer, such as Firefox would also
be advantagous.

You do not need registry cleaners, most are scams.
