How do I know? No conflicts or snail speed before I installed or after I took it out. Cleaning all the goop out of your computer helps a lot more than this program! It sure didn't work for me!!

Then a scan by a couple of malware scanners to round off the afternoon. Anything more is just overkill; all these funny registry cleaners and 'optimizers' are too dangerous to use: you may end up breaking your windows install. RAM 'optimizers' are merely snake-oil. BTW, to the poster a few posts above; Perfectdisk is an unstable program and a real leech when it comes to using resources. It did not get along with the windows screensaver on my machine and had a bad habit of freezing for a few seconds at a time for no apparent reason, so I uninstalled it after a few runs. It also takes way too long to defrag, and I detect no noticeable performance improvement from it's file placement. It's not for me; I'll stick with Diskeeper which is fast, light on resources and solidly stable. Also, FYI: it's not the only 'Vista certified' defragger...the previous version of diskeeper was also vista certified. The current version also has VSS compatibility.

My XP slowed down more than 80% after the download and no improvement at all- avoid! Surprised Giveaway not testing anything and letting these "B" (BAD) programs slip out, will dump this site as I have tried other programs and all but one-Glary Utilities has proven anything worthwhile to keep. Disappointed in Giveaway no matter what their marketing rationale-be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It also has a nice built in task manager for quick-kill of unresponsive programs,a built in “boost program” which will try to clear some memory before you launch the program you specify, and while I normally would say to just “let Windows handle it” and do on my non Internet machines, Firefox is just to lousy with memory management when left to its own(and I love my extensions too much to give up FF)."<< I don't understand why FF runs so slow for you *unless* you have a really old system. I regularly have a dozen firefox tabs open. And with only 512 RAM, and still running a Pentium 4 too....and no problems with slowing. Maybe you have bloatware/spyware/virus issues; it seems weird? Gotta 2nd the poster who mentioned the dreaded Norton Security...my pc was very much slowed before I got wise and completely removed it (a major undertaking in itself lol) @78:

I am using 2kpro on a 7 yo dell inspiron 2500. I use it for business and research. Any little improvement in speed is welcome. By necessity I have to use several kinds of programs, many files open. This has made a noticeable improvement. As far as Vista, spare me! Peace Paul Glynn Excellent. I am using 2kpro on a 7 yo dell inspiron 2500. I use it for business and research.

I had to hunt around on the website for Web Fragmentation Analyzer, I never use marketing tools. You can analyze your disk with the Windows defragmenter, although in XP the fragmentation numbers are off by an order of magnitude (probably the fault of the Diskeeper morons who supplied the code rather than the Microsoft morons). Absolutely the only way to find out what sort of an improvement you would gain by fully defragmenting your disks is to download trial software and defragment them. The major defragmenters all use different algorithms; personally, I think PerfectDisk has the best overall in terms of balancing optimal layout versus optimal re-defragmentation performance, free-space consolidation, a long track record of outstanding quality, by far the best at defragmenting when there is very little free space, very low resource utilization, the only Microsoft-certified disk defragmenter for Vista (and has been for a long time), and the best value. You could also check out O&O Software's O&O Defrag, http://www.oo-software.com/ . I have nothing good to say about Diskeeper, but you can try it if you want to. As far as I'm concerned, other brands don't even qualify (nothing can brick your computer and trash your data faster than a defective disk defragmenter). Because the different brands use different placement algorithms, the initial defragmentation can take a very long time, even if you defragmented your drive with another product. I initially recommend full defragmentation, then offline system files defragmentation, then another full defragmentation, in order to get your drives fully defragmented and the files placed in accordance with the algorithms that the product uses. After that, you can just do scheduled defrags (except Diskeeper, which runs all the time), with occasional offline defrags. In general, you won't get a good idea of how long a typical defrag will take until the third defrag (the initial defrag can be extremely long, the second can be somewhat long). The magazine reviews are biased (in favor of advertisers) and useless; no review that I have ever read (no matter which defragmenter if favors) has setup a test that's anywhere near what you would encounter with long-term use of a particular product, with partition sizes and data which are anything like what you have on your computer. Performance is what you observe, it's not some silly tables, graphs, and numbers which the marketing morons at each company force the coders to put into each product. #79, Observant, what version of Windows are you running that doesn’t have at least IE 4?
