In all fairness, it's a point. If you download and install software at the recommendations of websites (Download now for a full system defrag) you could be prone to Spyware/viruses and more junk than you wanted. The 3rd Party software may have been recommended by a magazine, i personally wouldn't trust it. For the simple reason they could also remove more than is healthy for your PC.

I certainly don't think it was a reason for ridicule.

I also agree with BillScarab comment on defragging is pretty much a waste of time. Unless you are a compulsive installer and uninstalled of poorly developed software Even so, in this case i'd probably just re-install the OS. It can save you a lot of time in some cases.

I didn't think defragging removed anything??

It doesn't, I suppose if the machine crashed while you were defragging you'd risk losing data but otherwise it doesn't remove anything.

Try using DEFRAGGLER (Windows built in one is cr*p)

But you mention D drive and not C drive ~ is it a normal drive or one thats built in to restore to an ealier point?
