Is it necessary to have AVG, Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes and TweakNow RegCleaner?

I have multiple software programs for detecting viruses, malware, spyware, adware and keeping my Registry clean. Are all of these necessary? I run each program at least once a week. Each time that I run them, I update each one. Both my AVG and my Ad-Aware run all of the time in my notifications area on my taskbar. Is it necessary to have both running all of the time. Right now, I use AVG Anti-virus free (anti-virus, anti-spyware, link scanner, and email scanner), Ad-Aware (anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit), Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (Malware Removal), and TweakNow RegCleaner (windows registry Cleaner). Is all this necessary? Or, should I be using other software, and/or should I remove some of this software? Am I duplicating? It just seems that my AVG uses a lot of RAM and runs quite intensly in the background. Any thoughts?
My opinion : Buy AVG internet security (it is rather good, AVG free is quite poor), throw away ad-aware, scan with malwarebytes in case of problems appear (or update to paid version). Scan with regcleaner once monthly or so.
personally, i find that avast and a little caution is all i need.

No, you don’t need ad aware at all if you got malwarebytes.
All you need is Avg and malwarebytes.

I would swap AVG for something a bit better. AVG is well past its best + has no rootkit protection.
Also get rid of that registry deleter. Theres no point in having loads of antivirus programs when you have that which does nothing useful and may randomly delete some key windows registry key at any point. Your registry doesnt need cleaning and never will.
You may as well keep ad-aware and Malware bytes if they are not running in the background they are not going to slow your computer down.
