Get S2 mate. You lose £24 but you gain alot. IT RULES.

I would never tell someone how to delete LFS, I love it too much to do something like that!

mine takes about an hour to do

As joen says, defragmenting after uninstalling something is basically completely useless, but if you need more speed: http://www.oo-software.com/en/products/oodefrag/

That's the funniest thing I've read here for a long time. Please tell us this was meant ironically!

Oh my god, what a prick! Things seemed to be going along so nicely as well.

And S2 gives you a user account that stastically records every race and every ban from misbehaviour.

Looks an awful lot like the one I bought, Perfect Disk 7. I'm very fond of that one.

I don't defrag an awful lot, tbh. My machine does get a little fragmented over extended periods of time, but defrag lifts up data and moves it elsewhere. Something inside me tells me that doing that needlessly too often is just increasing the risk of damaging it. Perhaps that's an old-school thought, but deleting and rewriting data on the HD on the off-chance that I might get a performance improvement that's indistinguishable to me during normal usage is just not best practice.

as we are talking about defragging can anyone recommend a program that defrags well? I've not defraged my computer in well over a year, the windows defragger stopped working. I click to defrag it.. it does something and after about 10 minutes it skips through saying its finished but it has hardly changed anything. Tried running it 20 times and still nothing so just gave up on defragging...

software posted above sounds good!

cheeeers

mad

O&O Defrag is the best I know of, but it's not freeware.

any freeware software thats good at defragging? or are they pretty much hopeless?

might have to spend some cash!

Sounds like you may have a process running that is disrupting the defrag program. If something else writes to disk while defrag is running it restarts. If it has to restart a certain number of time it then stops.

He may run Nortons crapola software that has a habit of stopping defrags cause it reserves and write protects the area it resides in on HDD or something like that , many virus checkers do this, I use Vcoms suytemsuite tools works great and has pc cillin virus checker as well which is as good as any

hmm yes.. shame on me!!! i am one of those Norton users!.. bah! didnt know it can disrubt defragging... my license with norton has run out few weeks ago anyway. Thinking of buying Nod32 but i also need a descent firewall.

A mate of mine swears by NOD32. And the Kaspersky firewall seems prety good.

i use avg its alright be it can slow down your computer

Effect of a virus: To make your computer run slower and crash.
Effect of anti-virus software: To make your computer run slower and crash.
Effective virus protection afforded by anti-virus software: ~10%
Effective removal ability in the rare instance anti-virus software actually detects an infection: 0% in best case scenario

That's for PC's, for Macintosh it's even more staggering:

Number of virus' for Mac: 12
Number of virus' to appear in the last year: 12
Number of years around 12 different anti-virus tools have been on the Mac: 5
Number of anti-virus products to dissapear in the last year: 9

I use Diskeeper and Norton. Diskeeper defrags my hd when the screensaver is active (which is most of the time tbh), and Norton sits quietly in the background and never causes me a problem.

all anti-vir will slow it down, /me uses AVG 7 pro with firewall

this thread = gold

Yes, because nobody bothers to write viruses for Mac.

I didn't understand why you use it back at the EAS meeting and I still don't understand now, but whatever floats your boat, I guess. Maybe you have accidently turned it off, so that's why it's not causing any problems
