Defraggler is a free file defragmentation tool from Piriform, the company that brought you CCleaner and Recuva. It differs from other defrag tools on the market, by enabling you to quickly and simply defrag the files you want to, without having to process the whole drive. Simply run it, select the file and defragment in seconds. No more struggling with the Windows defragmentation tool! And like all Piriform products, Defraggler is completely free for both corporate and individual use.
• Defrag Individual Files or Drives
Most defrag tools only allow you to defrag an entire drive. Defraggler lets you specify one or more files, folders, or the whole drive to defragment. Pick the trouble spots on your hard drive - like your favorite videos, your business software, or your Web browser. Defraggler does exactly what you tell it to.
• Interactive drive map
At a glance, you can see how defragmented your hard drive is. Defraggler's drive map shows you blocks that are empty, not fragmented, or needing defragmentation. To see the files on an area of your hard drive, click the colored block. Or, view all of the files on your hard drive sorted by size, path, or number of fragments. Want to save the list for later? Defraggler has a report option which lets you save lists of all or some files to a text log.
• Defragment free space
Most defrag tools only defrag files on a drive. Defraggler goes one step further and defragments the free space, too. If your free space is defragmented and all chopped up, new files written to that space will end up defragmented right away. Defraggler can defragment free space so new files are automatically all in one place, making your hard drive run faster and Windows work more effectively.
• Move large files to end of drive
Hard drives are fastest at the beginning of the drive and slowest at the end. If the files you use most often are at the beginning, your PC will run faster. You can tell Defraggler to put your large files (such as archives, videos, or backups) at the end of the drive and it will automatically put the smaller, often-used ones at the front. The result? More efficient use of hard drive space and faster computing.
• Defragging in the background
Don't waste precious time. Defraggler runs in the background so you can continue to work, play, and have fun. It's small and uses few system resources, so you won't experience any slowdowns in the process.
• Scheduled defragmentation
Defragment while you sleep - and wake up with a faster PC. Set Defraggler to run daily, weekly, or monthly and be assured that it's keeping your hard drive speedier, more reliable, and more efficient.
• Portable version
You never know when you'll be asked to fix a slow PC. If you're the tech guru in the family, you may be called upon to help while visiting your favorite uncle…or the neighbors down the street. Defraggler's portable version is self-contained and fits on a USB drive, so you're always ready to help.
• Multi-language support
No matter what your native tongue is, Defraggler speaks your language. It currently supports 37 all major languages, including English.

Runs on Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000. Including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Changes in v1.14.159 (02 Oct 2009):

Online Armor personal firewall protects your computer's internet connection (inbound connections and outbound connections), stops unknown programs from running and detects keyloggers - plus lots more! Online Armor is a full security system for your computer, but has been designed to be very easy to use. You can check out its features in detail by looking at the menu on the left. In standard mode, most decisions are made completely automatically based on Online Armor's whitelist - meaning that you never need answer a complex firewall prompt again.
Online Armor firewall is designed to be easy to use, right out of the box - but that doesn't mean it lacks in power. Slip into advanced mode, and additional options for power users are present. Import blacklists from bluetak directly into the firewall and apply them against rules. This allows protection of P2P programs or web browsers, without applying these lists against every connection.
You can also use this feature to block countries or networks known to host malware, zombies or other dangerous content.

If you want to limit the connectivity of your computer to known systems (for example, VNC to your home computer from the office network only) you can restrict it in Online Armor easily. You can also restrict connections by country ("Don't allow connections to this country") or, alternatively, only open up certain countries ("Only allow my browser to connect to sites in the USA or Australia").

There are two different versions of Online Armor available.

Online Armor FREE is our powerful windows firewall - the only FREE firewall to offer 100% leak protection out of the box! It's easy to use, powerful - and completely free. Online Armor is straightforward, and simple to use.
Online Armor includes powerful "HIPS" functions, which give you the ability to stop all unrecognised programs from running on your computer unless you say so, making it possible to protect yourself against these new attacks. Of course, programs Online Armor knows are safe will be allowed to run, no problem.
