when my friends want me to clean his/her computer(too many autostart programs and unnecessary softwares installed), I usually install 360 security. It is simply the easiest to use and do not have free equivalent. It may do some aggressive things, but that is the price if you want the good part.

Or you know... just use the in-built security in Windows 8.1. It's fun telling people they don't actually need to install a free AV anymore. They never believe you.
What are the specific features it has that other tools don't have?
see xiaoq's reply above
3) a "janitor" tool, for inspecting and disabling auto-boot software, removing software otherwise tricky to remove, and removing temporary files;
I need this feature especially.
Windows has the auto-boot disabling built in - msconfig in XP and above, or it's built into task manager on 8 and 8.1.
Removing tricky software can be done by crap cleaner and/or hijackthis
