One of the most common methods for people to keep their computers running quickly and dependably is to make sure that they run a defragmentation on a regular basis to organize the file structure on their hard drive. Done properly, this makes accessing files on your hard drive for a program much faster to do because all of the pieces of information are lined up for the hard drive to read. Otherwise, they are scattered all over making the hard drive skip around getting the information it needs.
Now, all defragmentation programs are not built the same. In fact some of them are actually malware in disguise. This is the case with smart defragmenter.
Smart defragmenter is designed to get on your computer and get you to believe that there are problems with your hard drive through a variety of error messages when you try to open programs or delete files and you need to get rid of smart defragmenter quickly. Messages that you'll see when you are trying to open programs will say:
System Error!
The file you are attempting to run has been found to contain errors that keep it from running properly. You need to run a hard drive scan to properly diagnose and fix this issue before it becomes worse.
This message will not always pop up though. If enough attempts are made the program will respond properly.
If you do run a smart defragmenter scan on your hard drive, after the scan is finished you will be given scan results that will inform you that a large number of the files and sectors on your hard drive are seriously damaged and that in order for you to save the remaining data you need to purchase and activate your copy of this malware for the problems to be fixed. These messages generally look like:
Data on your hard drive has been damaged and will continue to be damaged if you fail to repair the bad sectors located on your hard drive. This data will be unrecoverable should this happen and once you get rid of smart defragmenter these messages will stop.
While you are using your computer you will get a variety of messages on your windows taskbar telling you that there are a variety of failures in progress and in order to stop your system from crashing you need to take action and activate your copy of smart defragmenter. Do not do this as you will be throwing money down the drain.
If any of these messages were real, they would definitely be something you need to be concerned about. But with smart defragmenter the best way you can avoid this from happening to your computer is to download a system scanner that will get rid of smart defragmenter and any other running malware from your computer then repair the damage it has caused to your files and windows registry. If you find this malware or any other malware on your computer scan it at once with a system and registry scanner and make your computer safer and faster.
