Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit |
Most people here use the Windows tool on its default schedule of weekly.
Some use other defraggers like Auslogics.
The choice is more a matter of how obsessive you are rather than on demonstrable differences in PC performance.
I use Win 7 defragger and have never done a manual defrag. My fragmentation levels vary from time to time, but are rarely above 5%. | My System Specs |

AVG and Adaware are a generation or two behind in the preference of those here who have been with Windows 7 since beta, as is Spybot.
The new-generation freeware that is in favor now is MSE, Avast6, Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. | | My System Specs | | |
