Some bad tips there.
Windows already has a built-in defragmenter that does the job quite well. Why bloat your system with another defragger?
Remote Desktop doesn't let "anyone" connect to your box. They need to have an explicit invitation and then you get several prompts asking you if you want to allow them to connect and then further prompts again if you want them to control the system.
Removing the page file is only useful if you have a boatload of RAM, otherwise you'll die in a sea of "out of memory" errors. Not good.
Disabling auto updates is fine for power users who update their machines manually and regularly but the average user simply won't remember and will be hit by some zero-day exploit such as the new VML exploit making the rounds this week.
Registry cleaners typically cause more problems than they solve. You'll rarely improve performance just by removing a couple of registry entries and when the "cleaner" removes an entry that's needed, you'll know about it.
