PerfectDisk Professional 9.0.0 Build 52

Why you need to defrag your computer Every moment you benefit your computer, even when its brand new, the records on your PC or laptop will continuously become fragmented. This means that these records are split into millions of pieces, and this occurs even further so when you go to add, modify and delete them. So when you go to access a document folder - even just to read it - it will take much longer than necessary because Windows has to first find each piece of the document folder before you can even see it. This makes using your computer, and doing everything you want, much slower than it should be. Fragmentation also leads to much slower boot times and will make applications run slow or even potentially cause them to lock-up or freeze. Defragging your computer puts the pieces of your records back together into a single piece - the way they should be. A defragmented computer will boot quicker, records will be accessed faster, and your applications will not hang. A good disk defragger will not only defragment, but will also consolidate the free space on your drives into one large piece so when you create a new file, there will be enough free space to save that document folder in a single piece, rather than fragmenting right away. Defrag for a rapidly computer and a healthy PC. Whats New in PerfectDisk® 2008 * A brand-new user interface A new user interface makes it easier than ever to benefit PerfectDisk.
