  Version: Power Defrag 3.01

  "Better than System Restore"

  by Corydory on February 18, 2005

  Pros: I love this program. I don't use System restore for a number of reasons and this gives me peace of mind when something does goes wrong...Power Defrag has saved me more times than I can remember.

  1. If ever you find your SCANDISK playing up (as multimedia task is runnning in the background - not allowing it to function correctly) PowerDefrag can scan you disks upon a restart, saving you the hassel in waiting endlessly for scandisk to work. Same can be said for degragmenting your drives.

  Plus it works as a very good system restore - you have a choice of five different dates (with hour ect) to choice from if something goes amiss - just last night I couldn't access the internet (Firefox kept on timing out on me) 2 clicks on Powerdefrag and everything was back to normal. Truely a wonderful program with great features.

  Cons: The only thing I can think of is you cannot keep your five restore points as the program uses the last 5 times you accees it - or something like that, it never really states what or where your restore points come from. Aside from this, and I assure you if you get into trouble, Powerdefrag will magically have a restore point for you before the mess - it works.

  "Outstanding!!! Nuff said."

  by Minor Tron God on December 22, 2005

  Pros: I was sick and tired of how long it took to Defrag, I could Kill. I tried a freebie (SpeeDefrag) which seemed fine untill about the 5th or 6th time I used it and could not reboot after( had to use a boot repair disc)and got rid of that puppy. I came in search of something else. I have used this one for the 30 day trial period and it will be only the 4th pgm I've tried that I am going to pay for to keep. Small memory footprint, Outstanding IF, Smooth and easy operation. Performs system maintenance operations in an optimized environment taking a fraction of the time normally consumed. I can't praise it enough.

  Cons: Wish it was one of the Great Freebies I've gotten from here. Oh Well

  "A good personal choice"

  by Marian Saraceli on June 20, 2005

  Pros: I can use it now with no problem. The latest version, 3.01 is pretty cool. What I would like is a bit of speed in defragmenting as it seems to take too much time, but my system is definetly going better after it finishes.

  "Nothing but a fancy batch file"

  by ljwolfe on June 15, 2005

  Pros: If you can't find Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter on your own, then this might be for you.

  Cons: If you know how to run system tools, don't waste your time on this. All it does is call the native Windows apps.

  "Worthless"

  by caesarmoridon on March 10, 2007

  Pros: It reminded me of windows 3.1 with its pathetic interface. That was good for a laugh.

  Cons: This product is worthless and at the cost of $30.00 is a total waste. If you want a good defrag program I suggest looking elsewhere. As stated by a different reviewer you can do the same things as this in safemode. Not Impressed!
