• The Worst Computer Virus
  

  LONG BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - December 27, 2007) - The worst type of virus is the one you don't know is there. You're confused and left wondering what the source of infection is. Without knowing, you can't treat it. Slowly but surely the infection spreads and you're left with a lifeless system that takes 10 minutes just to boot. Virus scans detected nothing and now the only solution seems to be, buy a new computer. If only you knew how to restore your crippled computer and prevent any future infections.

• File Fragmentation and the Average Company Employee
  

  GLENDALE, CA--(Marketwire - December 27, 2007) - You may know that file fragmentation affects performance of a computer system. But did you know how much and how closely it affects every user on a system? Standard fare operations such as word processing, email, spreadsheets, web browsing, anti-virus scans and anti-spyware all have their performance greatly affected by file fragmentation.

  Every user from the top executive down normally begins the day by downloading, reviewing and answering email, and nowadays many company communications, in an effort to save paper, are conducted through email.

• What Happens Between Scheduled Defragmentation Runs?
  

  GLENDALE, CA--(Marketwire - December 26, 2007) - It's been many years since defragmentation was found to be necessary to maximize system performance. Fragmentation meant that files had to be retrieved in pieces -- more and more as time went on -- and the performance degradation was definitely noticeable. Defragmentation was quickly seen as the restoration of this lost performance, and it became vital system management activity.

  It was only a short time until scheduled defrag was invented. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and indeed it was a major advance. Manual defrag of disks, having to take place with live personnel when users weren't on the system (meaning nights and weekends) could now be replaced with defragmentation runs scheduled to occur at these same times -- without the presence of the system administrator or other IT staff.
