Editor's review of Smart Defrag 1.02
5.0 stars
- "Defrag on the fly"
It's hard to stand out in the crowded field of defraggers, but SmartDefrag is able to do so with an unexpected twist.
Along with quick analysis and scans, SmartDefrag boasts an automated defragger that continually defrags the files that you use the most, and does it without becoming a persistent drag on your system resources. When running in the background, the program only eats up 14MB of RAM, so it's possible to run it smoothly on older machines.
Other features we like include a scheduler you can set up to defrag whenever you want and some customization features if you want the program to start when Windows loads or right before logging off. You also can set it to shutdown your computer when it's done defragging your hard drives and partitions.
Overall, if you would like a handy defragger with options for scheduling and more, this is a great defragger for both novices and more experienced users.

Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
"Took down my operating system"
Pros: Did not even get a chance to evaluate the program.
Cons: It destroyed my operating system and all my data
Summary: After running the defrag, I could no longer print, use my scanner, could not sign on to Works 9 or Microsoft Office software. When I shut down the computer, it would not restart no matter what. Dell finally helped, we had to reformat the drive and s... read more >>

Version: Smart Defrag 1.02
Pros: It works faster than any defragmenter I have ever used, including the excellent AusLogics product.
Cons: What *is* this thing doing when I am not looking. It seems restore points were being created nearly every hour after I used Smart Defrag. Why? I have no idea. I've not removed the program, but will be very sparing in its use.
Summary: If you are already using AusLogics Disk Defrag, there is no reason to add this odd little program to your computer.
