Diskeeper

Diskeeper is a software for automatic defragmentation of hard drives . It was for VAX - minicomputer with VMS operating systems developed and came later for Microsoft Windows on the market. It is a product of Condusiv Technologies (formerly Diskeeper Corporation, before that Executive Software ).

The defragmentation tool Defrag, which is integrated into the Windows 2000, 2003 and XP operating systems, is a stripped-down version of "Diskeeper" that does not offer all the functions of the full version.

The version Diskeeper 2010 released in November 2009 is not only intended to defragment, but also to actively reduce the occurrence of fragmentation.

In 2000 the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) was supposed to investigate whether Diskeeper could be used for data espionage , since the Diskeeper Corporation has close contacts with the Scientology sect. After Microsoft published a guide to enable Windows 2000 to be used without Diskeeper, the Federal Ministry of the Interior considered it no longer necessary to check the source code .
