this is what auslogic tries to push off on the people who use their 100% useless defragmenter that's nothing but a light show. real tests have shown that auslogic disk defrag does absolutely nothing, then it pops up an add for this. it's just another optimizer that will destroy your computers files while claiming to get rid of all the junk.

I agree with 0zSpit. If you really want to boost system performance, use at least two good registry cleaners (one is never enough, something that's true for anti-spyware as well), plus a privacy/cleaning software like CCleaner. Here's my list: http://techqi.blogspot.com/2008/01/miscellaneous-security-software-part-1.html in case you're interested.
