FAQ Download And Install - Can MyDefrag do continuous background defragmenting?
No. In my opinion continuous background defragmenting and optimization is marketing
hype and a bad idea. There is considerable overhead (CPU, memory, disk) that may
actually make your computer slower instead of faster, and it will wear out and
shorten the life span of your harddisk. I advise defragmenting once a day (via the
Windows Task Scheduler) at the most.
