Why does my computer fragment so bad when no programs are running? I defragged & left it on & it's bad again.

Question

I defrag often & many times. There are no programs running (that i know of). I can leave the computer on all day & check the hard drive & it's fragmented bad again & I didn't do anything on it. What's going on?

Answer 1

There's a chance you have some kind of hacking tool installed in your computer

Go to http://www.infectedornot.com and run a Total Scan or go to www.bitdefender.com and then you'll be able to remove all the malware and stuff with www.kaspersky.com or AVG

Answer 2

You may have a virus running in your computer. The virus could be stored as Quarantined but still running. I would also suggest that you don't let your computer run all day. Some things you could try to do is use as mentioned earlier Windows Intern Defrager, you can retrieve information about this at windows.com. There is also another chance you may have something running on your computer without you knowing it. Something like limewire or bittorent. To stop programs as this and others go to run, then type msconfig after that a window opens. In that window go to start and uncheck the boxes that you don't need. Before unchecking though make sure you for sure know what you are unchecking. If you mess up then your start up could go horribly wrong.

Answer 3

wow, you got some thing running, limewire, bearshare, bittorent, go to run typr in msconfig there look under start up see whats running..uncheck the box you dont need,,,,

Answer 4

I guess you use Windows and it's intern defragger. But that prog's (like many others by M$) not perfect. Get another one from the www.
