Have you tried doing a manual registry search for that dll?
-
Sometimes the key scheduleddefrag is corrupted (like after installing some other defragmenting software). Look for it in the registry, delete it and reboot. You will have to check the schedule in Windows Defrag later.
-
Well, you can always do a fast free space defragmentation and manually defragment remaining fragmented files from filelist. On the other hand, the freespace defragmentation in DF isn't very thorough but it's fast.
-
These settings are bugged. Both of them will create some random fragmentation. This is a long standing bug I don't know why it isn't fixed.

I have installed MSE on a Win XP machine today. I have noticed quite a performance hit. But I am wondering if it will be caused by testing MSE on older hardware rather than operating system. All XP machines I have are keeping XP only because they are not powerful enough to run Seven. And all of them are just slow DDR, slow bus, slow one core processor. Has anyone tried MSE on an XP machine but with newer hardware? Maybe the difference lies there.
-
I think it will be recreated by the filesystem.

We don't have any of these festivities here at Spain. But happy <insert your favourite festivity here> to all of you.

Conduit is adware I think.
You should run AdwCleaner on your computer. And Malwarebytes wouldn't hurt either.
-
What a shame. Winamp is my main audio player.

You can run Mozilla Firefox in private mode and Google Chrome in incognito mode. Both web browser don't store any history at all when using those modes.

Meanwhile, 25.0.1 is out. If fixes a couple of issues and adds some minor improvements.

incavi.avm is a data file for AVG antivirus. It cannot be defragmented because it is probably in use by AVG.
toolbar.log sounds suspicious (maybe it's from AVG's toolbar). Please tell me you didn't installed the toolbar, did you?
If so, do yourself a favour and check your pc with Xplode's AdwCleaner.
Try defragging again after cleaning/rebooting.
I would not pay more attention to Defraggler's report. Your drive has got little fragmentation to begin with (and not to be concerned at all).
PS - The Auslogics' file list appear totally different from Defraggler's one. I wonder why...
-
I hope you are not living in Philippines, mate.
-
Let me tell you that Auslogics "defrag and optimize" algorithm is bugged (although it's fast). It tends to shuffle around a lot of already defragmented files.
And back on topic: what are those "not defragged files" in Defraggler? Maybe they are OS locked files. Can you post a screenshot?
-
An all-in-one installer now it seems, no more choosing your OS, language, etc. I don't use it anymore and likely won't, although I do keep the current setup file handy as an alternative just in case my current preferred AV has a bad version or morphs into rubbish.
Huh? I had to download three separate installers (XP, Vista x86, Vista x64)...
Thanks for the link dvdbane.
PS - Installers are 100KB smaller.
PS2 - Can anyone check if the XP version is performing better. I have definitely moved to Win7 across all my PCs.
-
It's below where it says Defragmenting (6%)
Remaining time: >1day
OMG!
PS - Do not use JPEG for screen captures. Use PNG instead.

I have been lucky so far, then.
But yes, tinkering with NTFS metadata can be dangerous.
-
They are registry backup copies created by Crap Cleaner prior to registry cleaning. If you are sure you registry is fine and the pc is running fine too, you can delete them.

Microsoft Security Essentials is updated to version 4.4.304.0

I don't think it is a compatibility issue. Those of us who suffer from OCD disease (Obsessive Compulsive Defragging) like to test several defragmenting solutions, but it's not polite to talk about them here. Other than that it's not a great secret than Defraggler regular defrag has always been slow when compared to other defragmenters. That's why I usually run quick defrag or defrag manually from the file list. And speed isn't everything. I prefer Defraggler against other defragmentation tools just because of its tidy clean interface, low weight, low disk requirements, it's not intrusive for the system, etc...

I think the Caviar green drives are only 5400 rpms but I could be wrong.

Interesting read Hazelnut.

Ah. Now I understand (from file list). CONFIRMED now.

Click on + Add button and your done.
Thank you. By the way the last Miscellaneus option made me chuckle (Rick Astley...)

I have installed MSE on a Win7 (with 1GB RAM) machine and I think it takes up about 60-70 MB in RAM. I am starting to think that it would be best to install some cloud antivirus on PCs with less than 2 GB RAM. I guess the RAM usage will be around the same for XP.
