Disk Maintenance
With the SecureIT Plus service, you receive powerful disk defragmentation software. Disk maintenance is implemented to automatically reduce hard drive fragmentation and optimize the efficiency of your computer.For a simple explanation of fragmentation think about when you save a file to the hard drive. The file is split into "pieces" all over the drive. The more "pieces" a file is in, the harder time your computer has finding the file when you want to open it. Thus, when your fragmentation level gets too high on your hard drive, your computer will become much slower and opening files will take much longer. No matter how fast your hardware is, disk fragmentation can choke your machine's performance within a matter of days. The only way to ensure optimum speed and stability is with our automated disk maintenance technology.
The defragmentation client is set to defragment your hard drive automatically at a time set in the Component Scheduler. You can turn off disk defrag from running by unchecking the "Enable Automatic Disk Maintenance" button. If you wish to run the defragmenter manually you can click on the settings button in the SecureIT management console and click on “Disk Maintenance”. The time it takes to complete this task depends on the size of your hard drive and the level of fragmenation of files on the drive. Once the task is complete you will see a read out of the total number of files found on the drive, number of fragmented files, the average number of files found to be fragmented, and average size of files.
When you click to begin a scan, the software will show that a scan is being completed. Once completed, a box will detail what the defragmentation has done, showing the number of fragmented files and more.
If you want disk maintenance, but do not have SecureIT Plus, contact your Internet Service Provider or visit the SecureIT Direct link to your right.
