You can also configure this tool to automatically move large, unused, and/or files of a certain format to the end of the drive so the commonly used, smaller ones end up toward the beginning, hopefully improving access times. For example, you can disable defrags if files have fragments that are smaller than 10 MB, have more than three fragments, and are larger than 150 MB. Right off the bat, one thing I liked about using this program is that I could run an automatic defrag when my PC became idle for a particular amount of time. Might try to install another program during setupÄisk SpeedUp can defrag not only whole hard drives but also individual files and folders. I just wish I still had the installer for a version of Disk Defrag from before the time Auslogics crossed to the dark side.Doesn't integrate itself into Explorer to make it easier to defrag files/folders Malwarebytes was right to tag Auslogics as a PUP. Then I purged the Auslogics remnants (files, folders, and registry keys) found by MBAM (17) and AdwCleaner (6). So I uninstalled Disk Defrag (and its evil twin program - AuslogicsDriverUpdater) via Control Panel. If not for WinPatrol and MBAM real-time protection, my home page, my search engine would have changed, and I'd probably have a worthless registry cleaner installed. It ignored my explicit instructions, and installed what it dangwell pleased. In short, this PUPpy hasn't changed one bit. But I was informed that over 2,000 problems with my computer had been detected, (most of them registry errors, plus junk files wasting 94 MB of disk space) that - you guessed it - BoostSpeed could fix. I ran Disk Defrag, which ran without problems. When I opened IE 11, my homepage was unchanged, but I got an alert that an unkown program was still trying to change it to Yahoo, which I yet again rejected. After installation completed, I was re-directed to giveaway-club dot- com, which promoted Auslogics free "BoostSpeed". MBAM Premium detected a dozen or so Auslogic files during the installation, which I allowed (for now). Despite rejecting Yahoo twice, WinPatrol kept throwing up alerts. Despite unchecking these options, it still tried to change my homepage to Yahoo (caught by WinPatrol), which I rejected. The installer will set Yahoo as your home page and default search engine, and also install " BoostSpeed" (a registry and disk "cleaner"), unless you use the custom install, and uncheck these default options. So against my better judgement, I downloaded and ran the most recent version of Disk Defrag, using a "Custom Install". Wow- no 3rd party offers in an optimized installer! Could Auslogics have changed its ways? I had to investigate.
