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 1.13.155
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Takes a little time to learn

Version: Defraggler 1.13.155
Pros: I like the visual representation of the defrag process, Vista does not have this.
Cons: It took over 24 hours to complete the defrag. Don't plan to use your computer for a while when you start this program.
Summary: Good free program. It reminds me of earlier windows operating systems defrag programs. Since it takes a long time to complete the defrag, it is good to be able to glance at the screen and see how the process is going. Get this program.

Cons: As with all defragging programs they can run a little slow.
Summary: Bottom line it is a great piece of software made my a good company (Piriform who are the makers of CCleaner and Recuva (both also great downloads)). Its a small file so it should be relatively fast to download depending on your internet connection. ... read more >>
