scottls Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I recently installed the current version of Defraggler, as WDD doesn't defrag files larger than 64mb (system is getting slow...). I unticked replace WDD on install (no reason)- Now I have a WDD icon, as well as a DF icon on desktop. Having both icons on on desktop seems to confuse my ESET Smart Security v8 AV (Hate it, and going to try Norton Security Premium next). I have decided to go ahead & replace WDD with DF, and delete the WDD desktop icon- 1. Do I need to just tick Replace WDD in my DF settings, or uninstall DF & tick Replace on new install. 2. Do I need to then need to Disable WDD in MSC (it is currently Manual, with no Auto defrag)? 3. What is the advantage... of replacing WDD with DF? Win 7 (x86), ESET Smart Security v8, Zemana Anti-Logger free and no other active anti-malware.Free on-demand- Old/fast MBAM v1.75 (No Pro/Context!), MBAM Anti-Rootkit BETA, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, herdProtect.i5-2500 CPU @ 3.67GHz, WD VelociRaptor sata6 10k rpm/64mb Cache HD (WOW!).

Moderators mta Posted January 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2017 since the WDD defrag is set to manual, it is effectively disabled as it only runs if you run it. so no need, unless you want, to touch anything on that front. as to any advantage between the two, that's really a subjective decision for you to make, weighting up the pros and cons of each product. the product that wins will be the one that works best for you. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
