The free version includes nag-screens and offers other Auslogics apps during install as well as in-app. Version History for Auslogics Disk Defrag: Best Drive Cleaner? CCleaner VS Wise Disk Cleaner VS PrivaZer.Useful disk fragmentation map and detailed fragmentation report.Increase your productivity - no more waiting for files to open.Improve computer performance and stability.It is important to keep your disks defragmented and optimized as much as possible. Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the hard drive disk heads frequently move when reading files, leading to freeze-ups and system crashes. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance. Hard disks are by far the slowest component of your computer. If not they deserve everything heaped on their heads but I still believe that users should only be given warnings about such threats, not have downloads blocked.Auslogics Disk Defrag is designed specifically for fast optimizing today's modern hard disks.ĭisk fragmentation leads to system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startup and shutdowns, and sometimes to system failures. What I would have liked to read is an explanation from Aulogics themselves as to whether this was a genuine mistake and if they've apologized and altered the installer so the PUP deselect option does work. AVAST and other security software doesn't block them. I could name a number of other free and even paid for software I know whose installers can contain just as pernicious PUPs which you're literally just one click away from when you use them. I can confirm that as I was using a paid for Auslogics defragger for three years and AVAST never batted an eyelid.īut now it has been added to the security definitions lists and suddenly we're all being saved from this 'new' potential threat. I can find threads dating back years talking about the same thing and even mentioning that AVAST didn't flag it as a threat. Here's the irony: this "malware" has been part of many Auslogics installers for years. AV/AM software like AVAST, Malwarebytes, Spybot and I suspect others now flag up anything to do with them as a potential threat and I guess AVAST blocking downloads from their web site is part of this. Since then warnings about this online and in PC magazines have escalated to the point where Auslogics are now treated with the greatest of suspicion. This comes on the back of an installer for one of their products which either accidentally or deliberately would install a 'system performance' booster and other unwanted (of course) adware/crapware even when that option was specifically deselected in the installer menu. The problem is that the security threat industry has gone right over the top with anything Auslogics related and treats them as suspect and any software they provide as a PUP.
