If I saw the same review as Chuck did, I wish to point out that (as I
remember) the reason they marked it low was that Paragon do not
recommend running their defrag program while you are using the computer
for whatever you use a computer for. I found only one review.
When I saw that I thought it was (and is) a pretty thick remark (or a remark
made by a pretty thick person). There's NO way I would expect a computer
to do such an intensive job as re-organising my important files while it was
doing complicated maths, ... the risk of losing data could be too great.
I also noted that the review did NOT comment on the quality of the defrag
work ... which makes me suspect that they did not test it adequately.
Consequently, and acknowledging the significant working experience of the
guy I paid to "do" my machine (not for the first time for one reason or
another) I hasten to add - I've been using him for about 30+ years - I
panned their review as being worthless.
