It still use contig even if when doing folders/drives - where the dude loses me completely because that is not what Contig is meant for at all. Almost counter productive is you think placement of files on whole disk according to usage pattern, bootup files etc. What Vista defrag does and even more so stuff like Perfetc Disk. Contig is dumb as a door.
Vista defrag runs in background and I think has a weekly scheduled scan by default - startmenu, "defrag" check. There must be tutorials on this site on how to run it.
Im just shaking head of tools claiming to do something useful/unique while they do not. Try look at Auslogic defrag page, like they assume Windows do zero defrag and so their tool is nice and valuable. More about selling booster I think.
Well, more like have come to shake head since Ive used all this stuff in previous computer life
Some have defragging on brain and cant sleep if 1 out of 100000 files is in 2 pieces - which is cool and something else/more than looking for wonder tools. Try look at JKDefrag then JkDefrag v3.36 Think all it needs to be a geek replacement for Vistas build-in is support for layout.ini/prefetch/bootoptimization.
Not going to give you any links Delhi3 but it is not hard to test infections and find out that 1 tool is often not enough to declare "Clean". Sometimes tool might look like it actually removed stuff - not necessarily all. Today I tried youandme.exe - one of the "old" Valentines days scams. Not one known AV product detects it (check with Virustotal) and removal is a pain - Malwarebytes had to try several times, including reboot. Very nasty one since it is rootkit, bot and what not in 1 package, silently installs more and more stuff. For once 2 way firewall shows some use here, only a little help though. Sad part is this is documented evil, you can find popular sites showing pics of infection site - the hearts etc. Old news and still AVs are clueless.
So perhaps doing you a favor by questioning removal methodes. Or not, scan away and find out. Be sceptical is best approach. Malwarebytes and another one called SuperAntiSpyware often find this "unknown" malware stuff normal AV seem to have problem with. Also a lot better at removing. You should and can have both installed, they dont conflict with Mcafee. Throw in whatever on top but get those 2.
Why to disable TeaTimer in S&D Petition to remove TeaTimer from default installation. - Safer Networking Forums another thing is Mcafee will not let you install if it detects S&D. S&D people are furious about that, also at Kaspersky, Trend and others, but AV products do have a point if you have more than 1 resident product running. They conviniently forget to mention setting is optional.
