When you find that your computor has slowed down you should defragment it at least once a month it takes about 4 to 6 hours and you need a software for it.Its like us visiting a doctor for general check-ups.It helps to space up your programmes and keeps ample space free.Actually switching from one programme to another, fragments or break up programmes thereby occupying more space than required as they get scattered-defragmentation organises them.So my friends get going with defragmentation it keeps the health of your computor running fit.

I regularly perform some functions on my computer. They include disk defragmentation, disk cleanup, virus scan and creating system restore points. I also have installed ccleaner which i use frequently to keep my computer clean. Surely these activities help me keeping my computer speed high and processing speeds great.

I do defragmentation of my computer once every month... Its quite necessary to perform this operation since this operation frees all that space that is being used by the temporary files which get stored evertime we run the internet... It also asks u whether to delete all those files which have been never been used and are just sitting idle on ur computer... In all, it helps ur computer run faster than before.. But it should be done only once a month... Its not required more frequently...

Generally speaking,about 3 or 4 weeks,I degragment my computer,but sometimes it depends on how many movies I downloaded from websites.If the space is enough,I won't do the defragmentation,but oppositely,I do it immediately.
Thanks for your suggestion tuhpaul.

Hello, tuhpaul. You have well compared a long-used computer to a patient who needs to go to a doctor for a chek-up. It sounds very reasonable. Sometimes I defragment my computer when it starts to work slowly. Thanks for your advice, friend.

I already have a defragmentation software in my system.I don't know if it's only in certain computers or not but I haven't done mine for awhile.My question is why does it takes so long.

Seems youre very much into computer. We call this thing cleansing and we ask our computer technician to do that cleaning or defragmentation as you are callint it. I am not very much into computer tech I only knew opening up, closing up, preparing memo, opening may email and searching on topics I wanted to know more about. In fact thru some friends I came to know about this mylot and if I got time I do respond and discussed with members and friends like you. Your information was so informative.

I should probably do that once in a while. I just shut it down and start it up again. It usually works just fine after that.

You are right friend. I do defragment my computer once in every 15 days whether it is running ok or slow. Actually Defragmenting increases processing speed. It is very necessary for every PC user.
