PC Pitstop is a site that offers free PC diagnostic tools to give your PC a checkup. Tests and scans that can be run are AntiVirus, Internet Speed, Spyware, Privacy, Check ActiveX, and others.

End-user machines are sometimes incorrectly considered not important to defragment since the majority of their files are stored on the file servers. When it comes to performance, defragmenting end-user machines is very important. Applications such as Word, Excel, Access and Internet Explorer temp files and Outlook attachment files ALL create work-blocking fragmentation bottlenecks.

"You really don't need to defragment until you notice a slowdown" This is like not checking the oil in your car until the engine starts to smoke. When performance loss slows the workplace, the systems involved have already been losing productivity for too long. Often performance loss becomes "the way it is" and isn't handled. A manual defragmenter absorbs an unacceptable amount of system resources and system admin time. I found that Diskeeper is excellent and is designed to be run automatically and includes a Smart Scheduling™ function that customizes to the needs of each disk.

You can never get back yesterday's productivity, so don't let it go in the first place.
