Default Any other Disk “Defrager”?

I have been using the trial of Disk keeper, and it only lasts for about 15 days. Any other good utility for disk defragging that I can use?

You can use Windows built in one.

Or if you want to pay use Norton SystemWorks : SpeedDisk

I agree with computeraddict and Karl, the Windows Disk Defragmenter is perfectly fine, in my opinion, i suggest you don't have any other third party software as your disk defragmenter considering you don't need it

Be very aware that IObit Smart Defrag also comes with adware... currently it only displays Google Adsense ads [against Google policy], which can be removed from the program in seconds, but may start including spyware which very closely monitors your computer.

Windows Defrag is fine. In the GUI there a some files it can't move because they are in use, but you can run defrag in command line mode as well and get a more thorogh job.

Press F8 during POST, select "safe mode w/ command prompt".
then, DEFRAG C: -V -F

Take a nap. Shutdown and reboot (normally)
