It is an extra expense, but if it saves a PC, or extends its lifespan I consider it well worth it.Ģnd, I'll refer to a page on the Defragler site talking about the Windows API most all of these apps use. A good UPS runs your PC off regulated &/or conditioned power that doesn't have those spike & dips, on top of giving you time to survive a very brief outage or shut down. Unless the electrical current is very good where you live/work, it's not all that steady, plus you often have excessive spikes & dips when/if an interruption in the power causes the lights to flicker, e.g. If the computer should loose power during the defragging process it can mess up the files on the HD and may even require reinstalling everything.'ġst, I'm a very strong believer in using a UPS. #13: 'There is also a risk to defragging. Most all defrag apps use Windows own defrag API, so there's some logic to that. #8: 'It may be useful for someone new to computers who does not have a defrag program, then again they could use the defrag tool that comes with the operating system.' I'd think the easiest way to tell if defrag was necessary or not would be to wait until a drive was fragmented, run a standard, file packing defrag - not one of the schemes that tries to arrange certain files optimally - and see the results for yourself. But you can also optimize drives on your PC manually.' No matter which type of drive your PC uses, Windows automatically chooses the optimization that's right for your drive.īe default, Optimize Drives, previously called Disk Defragmenter, runs automatically on a weekly schedule. Windows includes features to help optimize the different types of drives that PCs use today. ' One of the best ways you can improve your PC's performance is by optimizing the drive. #3: 'You don’t really need to defrag your hard drives in computers nowdays.' #2: 'So, unless you still have Windows 95 (or 98) and using a really old computer, you have no need for degragging software.

One of the last SuperEasy giveaways was actually Engelmann.

The Ashampoo web site says they're a partner, & there are similarities in the way the SuperEasy apps handle registration. #1: 'A German company without names, address, part of Ashampoo?'
