CNET Editors' review
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.

"Defraggler v2.10.413 corrupted my computer...!"
Version: Defraggler 2.10.413
Pros
I used Defraggler v2.09.391 as default, and it gave me the best 5-star performance of the Many 3d party defrags I've tried (free & paid)!
It does a full 19.1gig defrag in about 3min (WD Raptor HD).
BTW!- Never defrag or on a cold startup (any defrag), and always first do a no-activity reboot!Cons
Corrupted my computer (BSOD), and wouldn't even boot!
Luckily I pre-made a full system backup, and was able to recover with Emergency boot CD.Summary
I should have pre-viewed the "Many" bug reports on their forum, before installing this rewritten new version!
CNET should consider pulling this v2.10.413 until Defraggler Devs issue a corrected version (supposedly in June)!?
