First of all.. what is "it" that "has been slowing down every day"?

Anyway...
Panda Security Scan:
For all virus scans, running them once a week should be sufficient, unless you are really good at catching virus. Running scans everyday doesn't hurt, though.

C Cleaner:
What is that? I never heard of it.

Disk Cleanup:
You don't really need to run it. It just cleans some junk files on your particular harddrive. Once a month is already considered a bit too much.

Disk Defragment:
Unless you are downloading too many things, particularly through P2P, you don't really need to run it more than once every week. Disk defragging is good for your harddrive in the long run, but each time you defrag, you are stressing your harddrive. So, if you are defragging more than necessary, you are overstress your harddrive as well. So, running it everyday is not recommanded.

To sum up, I don't know what C Cleaner is, but I know running security scan and disk cleanup won't hurt your harddrive, although unnecessary. Defragging everyday, though, could harm your drives since it is putting extra stress to them.

On the other note, assuming you are referring your computer being slowed down, and all these above didn't help, it could be spywares. Try the following programs. They are free, and they don't have conflicts with other ones.

Spybot: Search & Destroy
Ad-Aware
SpuwareBlaster
Windows Defender

Just google them to find where to download them.
