Auslogic Defrag Results: And Aus. Boostspeed? Worth Running?

15 years ago

I ran Auslogic defrag on my pc. And there were 51 video files that it could no defragment bc. the program was "unable to find free contiguous disk space." These video's range from 1-8 GB of space. My hard drive has 146GB free space on a 500GB hard drive. (At some point, I plan to move these files to a larger internal hard drive - and assume I will have the contiguous space to defragment them there. Is that correct thinking?)

While the program was running, the results said that there were 512 junk files found. It suggested downloading Auslogics Boostspeed to remove the junk. So I did. The Boostspeed program removed the 512 junk files - but also reported 673 Registry problems. To take care of that I have to purchase a license (they do offer money back in 30 days if not satisfied).

Does anyone know about this auslogics Boostspeed program? Is it worth getting? I recall the caution here not to mess with the registry - not sure if allowing this program to do it will mediate any problems from my personally delving into the Registry. Are these REgistry problems I should take care of?

Thanks.

Lynn.

    Junk science!

    Just a way to get at your hard earned dollars!

    Of course this is just my opinion.

    Dont know what windows version you are running but think I might boot up in safe mode to a command prompt and type in

    defrag /? which will show you the built in windows defrag options. One of which tries to consolidate space.

    Command line probably look like;>defrag c: -w

    you can open a cmd window with admin rights from within windows too ... but safe mode will do your best defrag.

    Their defrag program is good. Don't waste your time or money on the other stuff.
