Anything Else I Should Do?
I am giving my laptop (Windows 7) to a friend. I have moved all files and folders to the external HD, deleted all cookies and browsing history (not that I visit any dodgy websites).
I have MSE and Malwarebytes and run regular scans.
Someone mentioned CC Cleaner.
Should I download and run this?
Is there anything else I should do?

Running CCleaner is also a good idea.
I don't know the age of your laptop but I would consider performing a Factory Reset for these reasons:
It will wipe and reinstall the laptop to it's original factory conditions.
It will make it faster.
It will wipe any personal data that you have on there.
The only downside is that it will take a while to do as you will need to wait while it does it and then even longer so that it can download all the updates that it will need.
