Defrag software can also be used for website monitoring | | 2008/09/05 | | Nothing lasts forever but web users can help to prolong the life of their computers with a variety of preventative measures.
While some things can't be helped - such as opening a well-conceived spam email to unwittingly release something nasty on your hard drive - one major yet easily prevented scenario is fragmentation.
According to ecoustics, fragmentation poses a significant threat to every computer because the 'disease' is born from the normal working processes of the hardware in the way that it saves and stores files.
Once a file is saved, altered and resaved, the original storage space created for it is no longer suitable and the hard drive's solution to the problem is to cut excess data and store it in the next space that becomes available thereby creating a fragmented file.
As there is an unlimited scope for fragmented files, they can take up enough space to severely restrict the smooth operation, reliability and speed of a computer.
Lethargic browsing, slow booting and delayed and difficult file retrieval are all classic symptoms of fragmentation which can prove fatal unless users take the uncomplicated and painless step of investing in defragmentation software.
Many defrag software options will not only cure they will also monitor to prevent the return of the problem which in turn will make great strides in avoiding the untimely and unnecessary demise of the computer. |
