How to Defragment Hard Drive with IObit SmartDefrag version 1.0 Final

[shivinder]

One of the main causes to the slow and unstable computer performance is due to disk fragmentation. To improve the efficacy of the hard drive and optimize the system’s performance, users need to carry out defragmentation of their hard drive periodically. If users are not comfortable with Windows’built in defragmentation program, we have introduced a tiny defragmentation tool, mst Defrag, here, here & here. Alternatively, users can try this newly released IObit Smart Defrag 1.0.

Similar to mst Defrag, SmartDefrag works automatically and quietly in the background on users’ computers without much interface or interruption to users’ work. Its automatic defragmentation process will continually and constantly keep users’ computer fragment-free. Smart Defrag is designed for new, modern and large hard drives. Besides performing defragmentation, this application also streamlines users’ file system, places the frequently used files and directories into the fastest area of the disk enabling users’ computer to run at top speed with the utmost stability.

IObit SmartDefrag 1.0 Final version is a freeware. Users can download it via the link here.

I've noticed with IOBit's defrag that if you uninstall it (even via Add/Remove Programs), it will still be there even after a reboot. If you look in the system tray down by the clock, you'll see their little icon. Right click it and select Exit, then uninstall it. Then click Start, click Run, type msconfig and press Enter. Click the Start Up tab and uncheck the box for IOBit SmartDefrag. Click Apply, click OK, and click Restart Now. Yeah, it's a big pain in the a** but it's the only way I've found to be sure it uninstalls completely.
