Pros
Nothing. Nada.
Cons
If you don't mind cooking a full-course breakfast, taking a shower, getting dressed, and reading the morning newspaper while this so-called defrag does it's boot-up/off-line defrag then this piece of c _ _ p is for you! Otherwise, use another software.
Summary
Takes way too long to defrag off-line. Who wants to wait for over 40 minutes until it's done? Not a useful defrag at all. Use something else.

Pros
I also have Avast, and this downloaded and ran without any problems. If there was a problem earlier, they got rid of it, and it works smoother than the Auslogics one.
Cons
none so far to complain about

Can't be any pros if i don't download it because it contains Viruses and Malware. Avast blocked it just as another reviewer said Norton blocked it and there are other reviews saying their antivirus blocked it. Use "Defraggler" instead.
Cons
it contains Viruses and Malware, thus this is Shitware. Avast blocked it just as another reviewer said Norton blocked it and there are other reviews saying their antivirus blocked it. Use "Defraggler" instead.

My head hurts just reading this moron review. Please don't write any more reviews. Idiots like you have no right to speak.

What a shocking "review". It brings to mind the old saying "Empty vessels make the most sound". You are clearly highly prejudiced against Indians, while at the same time you seem intent on publicising another product. I have used Puran Defrag for some years during which it has served me well and has not caused me any problems.
Pros
none, couldn't download
Cons
My antivirus blocked the download. I thought it was mistaken so, I allowed it and then Chome blocked it and said it was malicious.
Summary
Read the cons....Dangerous!!! I can't believe c|net is allowing this.

Um, I hate to word this this way but here goes:
You are an IDIOT.
1. The AV is a FALSE POSITIVE
2. Chrome will even block a lot of legit programs, that is part of why I DO NOT EVER RECOMMEND IT. PERIOD.
I have used this and downloaded this MANY times. NO VIRUS, and yep even ran it by Virus Total which scans with like 48 DIFFERENT AV ENGINES AT ONCE. It is CLEAN.
PLEASE do more checking BEFORE lambasting a program, and warning "Oh no it is infected, and BTW the sky is falling!".
Pros
Does what is says - I tried others that even specified they did the same (as above) but they "lied".
Cons
With it would optimise like MyDefrags System Disk Monthly.. haven't found a defragger that can improve bootup speed like MyDefrag
Summary
an addon to another software for a specific requirement

Pros
As I reported in my review of the previous version 7.6, this program does a good job of minimizing spatial fragmentation by filling in the gaps after the first pass of defragmentation. The program is pretty fast, too. It is free space fragmentation, due to gaps between files and data on the disk, which contributes to future file fragmentation. This program minimizes the free space fragmentation so as to mitigate against future file fragmentation once it is done optimizing your disk.
Cons
none, really.
Summary
Please see the Summary in my review of version 7.6. This is a very good defragger; you cannot go wrong with a FREE product of such quality and speed, IMHO.

Pros
Nothing positive - I was Required to give it a star - please consider my rating as NO Star.
Cons
I downloaded and clicked the defrag button. The software noted that this was the first time I was running it and made a suggestion that I do a reboot + disckeck option. I clicked on that option and the screen went dark - restarted - got to 10% and hung. Multiple re-attempts failed to get past 10%. I have unloaded the program and Malwarebytes (12 minutes after starting)is currently showing 16 infections
Summary
I opted to try out this program because one review said it was better than DEFRAGGLER.
I am going back to Defraggler.

This program contains no malware. I haven't installed a new version of this program in some time - but, one should always do a Custom Install and opt out of any free toolbars: those are the things which contain adware that a probram like MalwareBytes alerts on. But it is relatively benign stuff. If you had any dangerous malware on your system, it wasn't because of installing Puran Defrag.
Please Wait
