The Defraggler helps computer users who feel their system is running too slow. This simple program performs a complicated task that streamlines your PC's thought processes, but be prepared for a wait.
This free unlimited download attempts to bring order to your scattered RAM. When a file is created, portions of the item are spread into free spaces throughout the hard drive. As more files accumulate the computer has to work harder to piece together the puzzle that has become your specific file. This results in a slow computer. Defragmenting seeks out all these matching pieces and lines them up, making work easier and faster for the computer.
Defraggler downloads easily and is simple to understand. Its display shows users how much memory is available on their computers and also performs a search to show exactly how many files are fragmented in the entire computer. From here you can choose to defragment all or select specific files for defragmentation. Experts recommend regular defragmentation to keep computers running smoothly, so the Defraggler offers a scheduler to automatically run the program.
Defraggler is easy to understand and performs its job well. There is a strange chart along the top that seems to move for no real reason and is best ignored, but is only a minor annoyance. In addition, be prepared for a long wait time. Defragmenting a computer can take dozens of minutes. Still, if you want to improve computer performance, this is a great place to start.

Version: Defraggler 1.08.132
"I've been using it since it first came out"
Pros: It's made by the Ccleaner people! Great format and layout, with color coded hard drive, according to defragged/non-defragged files. VERY FAST. Option to defrag free hard drive space as well, very handy for grouping all your apps/files together.
Cons: Almost none. Kind of hard to minimize when defragging, although you probably shouldn't be doing anything else when defragging anyway... Besides that, none.
Summary: This is simply the fastest, smallest, most simple defragger on the market, and it's FREE! Made by the Ccleaner people so you know it'll work (they also make Recuva, check it out). Download this now. Absolutely no side effects of defrag down the r... read more >>

Version: Defraggler 1.08.132
"Only concern is that if it runs so fast, is it through?"
Pros: I Love that I can choose to have it defrag certain files or drives and not the entire computer. It runs very fast compared to the defrag I run that came on my computer; I try to run it often so I am not real worried that it will be a problem.
Cons: Is it through when it is so fast?
