From: Monica on 15 Feb 2010 13:21 I've always used Window's defrag program. This is adequate or can I/Should I be using something better? A newsletter I got today mentioned a program called UltraDefrag. It's free so maybe it's worth what it costs <g> What would you guys suggest? Thanks, Monica

You can google it, read and see what you think. I have used for more than two years am well pleased. It is also free.

From: Monica on 15 Feb 2010 14:18 Thanks Sam. No, I haven't looked at any of them yet. I've known there are other programs out there that are supposed to do a better job than the MS program but just continued to use MS' defrag. The article in the newsletter just got me thinking I need to look into this. I'll look at MyDefrag.

I uninstalled it. Actually many say now that Defrags aren't necessary due to the inherit speed of the drives today vs. years ago. I'm beginning to believe them now whereas before I was more open minded. |
