Reviewed by: CNET staff on March 31, 2009
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 1.09.138
Pros: Works well, good visual like the older Windows defrag utilities. Selective file defrag is excellent. Works with Vista, and can schedule individual drives at different days or times. Upgrade over Vista defrag.
Cons: Not much. Kind of slow, but one drive was 78% fragmented. No thanks to Vista defrag. Piece of junk.
Summary: Overall, 4 stars. No problems with freezing, gives very detailed reports of what is being done. Allows for very flexible scheduling. I was always a fan of the older Windows defrag utilities, which gave a visual description of the action it was ta... read more >>
