nice article. I have CCleaner on both of my desktop and laptop. I heard of this software from you.

Nice, but defagmenting rarely makes any noticable difference on newer PCs. Modern HDDs have such a high data density that they can read very fast, even when fragmented.

Well, it's free and easy so I mentioned it. It helped out my ThinkPad X31 quite a bit (then again it's got a 60GB 4200RPM drive that makes more noise than it loads data)

Well, on a smaller and slower drive it may help, but it never helps on any or my PCs.

I agree that on any semi-modern computer it's pretty much useless. But some people do have crappy old computers ya know!
