Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool! And remember like all Piriform products, Defraggler is completely free for both corporate and individual use.

Award-winning antivirus and antispyware. Real-time safe internet surfing and searching. Quality proven by 80 million of users. Easy to download, install and use. Protection against viruses and spyware. Compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Personally, I use the Pro version. Most of the added functionality that is in the pro version I turn off anyway. Try the free version first then if you feel you need the added functionality and protection, you can always get Pro.
