Auto Defragment And Norton 360

Apr 24, 2008

I recently upgraded my Norton's Internet Security to Norton 360 - which contains a disk optimizer (defrag). Prior to upgrading Norton my Vista Defrag tool worked fine no problem and always on schedule. After the upgrade to Norton, I was setting up the program and the defrag tool in Norton said "pending" which I left alone, because I was comfortable using the native defrag utility. However, now the vista defrag does not work. I went into the the vista tool to look at the schedule and it gave the last run date ( I had it set to weekly on Wed at 1am).

The next scheduled defrag said "Never" despite the box checked "run automatically". I then unchecked the box and rechecked it, and then it gave the next scheduled date which I changed to that evening. I left it alone until the next morning and it not only did not defag per the schedule but the Vista tool said next scheduled defrag "never" and Norton was back to Pending again. I have to assume this has something to do with Norton. I am told that Norton's defrag tool is tied to Vista's tool.

Manually Or Auto Defragment?

Sep 17, 2009

I am using Smart Defrag 1.20. The thing I would like to know is

1. Is it worth having your hard drive auto defragged?, or,

2. To manually defrag the hard drive, once a week?

As I think that running the auto defrag is using a bit to much in resources?

Defragment Query, Should Run The Defragment Tool Regularly

Sep 13, 2009

Last night I defragged my HD using Auslogics defrag program. I've just turned on my PC and checked how much free space I now have and I've gone from having 54.2gb free space on one partition of the HD to 51.3gb after the defrag. How can this be? Surely there should be more empty clusters/free space on my HD now than was before? Would it best for me to run the defrag tool a few more times? This is the first time I've actually defragged the HD since getting this PC 2 years ago. I now know I should run the defrag tool more regularly.

Disk Defragment

Who makes a really good disk defragmenter at reasonable cost.

I used Vista's. It ran for more than 4 hours and never finished. My used disk space increased from 251 GB to 268 GB.

How To Defragment Pagefile.sys?

Feb 18, 2010

Windows' built-in defragmenter has not been doing too well. Tried running Defraggler http://www.piriform.com/defraggler This is working much better and gives a graphical window with the progress. What I see is that C:pagefile.sys is hugely fragmented (1.5G and 500 fragments). This file seems to not to be able to be defragmented. Sort of makes sense since it is an important system file. Is there a way to get the pagefile to defragment?

which has a boot mode operation that can be enabled to defrag system files before they are locked. This does not seem to be working properly. It does not seem to be doing anything with the pagefile (even though it is in the explicit file list). Perhaps I have not found the correct command line switches yet. Both Defraggler and UltraDefrag were recommended by Kim Komando in her newsletter

Defragment So Slow

Feb 9, 2009

I thought I had asked this before but upon searching I found that I did'nt and could not find anyone else posting about this, so here I go again. I like using Auslogics Defrag, but its taking an absolute eternity to defrag, I tend to defrag after every install of a game and I installed another game this afternoon and its still defragging now, is this normal?? does'nt feel like it

My only thought is and I'm just guessing that would it be at all down to the fact that I have disabled index searching, or even the system restore being on? I'm annoyed at the fact that its taken almost all afternoon to defrag and counting

Cannot Defragment And Restore

Mar 23, 2008

I cannot defrag. or restore. The Dell tech. said that he found a few files which cannot be repaired by SFC/Scannow. I told him I probably needed to take it into a PC shop, as he wanted me to reinstall Vista and I don't think I can do that. He said to tell the shop to perform CHKDSK/R. Is this something I can do at home, find and delete corrupt files, without uninstalling and reinstalling Vista? I just used defrag.

Disk Defragment Not Completing

Jun 4, 2010

Vista home premium SP2. In XP the disk defrag pushes CPU close to 100% and takes a few minutes to sort out the disk. My Vista defrag seems to get bored with defragging and goes to sleep. It does the following

* displays Analysing...
* Puts focus on button Defrag Now
Select the button
Select C: and deselected D: (a small partition)
Select Continue
* Button becomes Cancel Defrag
* displays Defraging hard disk
CPU rises to 75%+ for a few minutes and then falls to

Automatic Defragment Does Not Occur

Jun 7, 2009

I'm running Vista Home Premium. I have the Vista defrag set to go automatically on the first day of each month at 9 PM. The settings are correct on screen. However, it says next scheduled defrag = never, and the automatic defrag does not occur. I have to start it manually each month. I do not know what is wrong, nor how to fix it.

Defragment Doesn Working Properly

Nov 25, 2009

After functioning properly since I got a new computer with 64-bit Vista nearly a year ago, the defragmenter now does its "spinning" for about 5 minutes and indicates: "Your file system performace can be improved. It is recommended that you defragment now." When I click on "Defragment now..." it spins again for about 5 minutes and repeats the same message. This repeats each time.

Auslogics Registry Defragment And System Restore Just Don't Play Well Together

Apr 22, 2008

I know that few of you bother with Restore Points. It's something I play around with for the experience. But I have found out through two reinstalls and more BSODs than I can count that on "my" machine SP1, Auslogics reg. defrag and System Restore just don't play well together! The only way I could get my system to not crash on boot today was to start in safe, uninstall A.R.D. and restore to the only point I had left.

Quicksys Registry Cleaner: Not Recommended To Defragment Registry Across Drives

Feb 27, 2009

WARNING: only for advanced users who like to clean the registry. Quicksys regcleaner normally $25 free - only 4hrs left from here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/

Win 7 compatible - have used this and deleted all 1200 entries it found. It makes a backup - been running for several hours and reboots with no probs. Also working fine so far on my Vista x64 and Win 7 x86 installs. After cleaning you need to shut the app. and reopen it for it to find it's backups. (Easy to find them by hand - it can compress them to.7z files, too ). Have used their regdefrag a lot - identical scans and results to the Auslogics and Glary versions- so use whichever defragger you already have. WARNING: not recommended to defrag registry across drives.

"defragment Now" : Started Reduce Speed

Sep 27, 2008

I click the "defragment now" and instead of freeing up a few Gbt of HD, I have now 3G Less. As soon as I hit the "defrag now" (I have always had it run as scheduled) , my HD started to reduce by alarming speed before my eyes. The defrag took hours, 4 hours, by the end, i ended up less than 10G, 7 of which came back out of nowhere the next day, but 3 did not. So I did defrag and ended up 3G Less HDS than before.

UAC Prevents Norton Installation

Apr 22, 2009

I have Vista Home Premium, and I'm trying to install Norton Internet Security 2009, which I downloaded from the website. The problem is that even when I tell User Account Control to allow the install program to run, nothing happens. I contacted Symantec about it, but all they said was that the user control policy is not allowing the installation to run and that I should contact Microsoft about how to fix it so the program can run. How do I do that?

Windows Firewall Or Norton

May 15, 2008

I get a security alert saying my antivirus software may not
be installed. Then, later I get a popup from Norton saying Windows Firewall
has been turned on. Do u want to use Norton Internet Security instead of
Windows Firewall? My Windows Firewall had always been turned on. This started
the other day after I did salvagerepository to fix something else. Does
Windows Vista recognize Norton? How do I stop these from popping up? Also, my
free subscription to norton ends in a week?

Can Removed Norton, Added AVG,

Apr 29, 2009

so my Norton Internet Security expired on my Asus laptop and I uninstalled it and Norton LiveUpdate. My internet worked fine. Then I installed AVG 8.5 antivirus and as soon as I rebooted the machine my internet stopped working. It says "the connection keeps resetting" when I try and get on the internet, and I cannot update the AVG now. I did turn on the Windows Firewall right after restarting, but after turning it back off, I'm still without internet. I'm using a NetGear wireless router connected to a broadband modem.

POP3 & Norton Internet Security

Mar 23, 2008

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'Yahoo!', Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x80004005

I recently upgraded to latest level of Nortin Internet Security 2008 (when they prompted me to!), and since then I cannot receive email via Windows Mail from my Yahoo account. See error message above. Just spoke to Symantec who claim that NIS 2008 is fully compatible with Windows Mail. I'm not convinced as the problem only started with their upgrade, and all was working perfectly before.
