Diskeeper 2008 works very well with Vista. have used it for past few years on
various OS and great to set and forget, agree MS Degrag slow and intrusive.
Diskeeper runs in background, does not clog up resorces

Sorry dont know about Onecare, run AV Avast with Windows firewall & Defender,
plus have Adware & Spybot S&D which I run occasionally to clean things up.

Why do you think MS Vista defrag is intrusive? It works in the background and
except for that fact that your disks are not fragmented, you will never know
it is running.

Yeah, automatic defragmenters follow the same underlying approach -
defrag unintrusively in the background only when necessary, but
automatically. It saves time and effort of defragmenting many drives
manually or by a schedule. The main difference between Vista's and third
party automatic defraggers is that the latter offer more
control/analysis, defrag choices and better performance/results. Whether
it is worth it in terms of $$$ would entirely depend on the premium you
are willing to pay for those features.

My main issue with automatic defragmenters is that often their idea of "in
the background" isn't the same as mine is.

My definition would be "when I'm not executing any intensive programs,
moving my mouse or using the keyboard", the last time I used Diskeeper at
least, it happily went off thrashing my disks at the same time that I was
trying to use them myself.

Microsoft's seems to be similar to Diskeeper except that it takes much
longer to do a worse job of defragmentation.
