![]() ![]() I ran each test three times and averaged the results. I tested Diskeeper 2011 Professional's ability to whip a PC back into shape by performing three tests-running the Geekbench system performance tool, measuring boot times, and transferring a 1.1GB folder of mixed media to external storage-before and after running the software to compare the computer's potency. Then it was time to put it through the benchmarking paces. After the process was completed, the system was given a "Healthy" rating. Next, I clicked the clean up button, which caused the application to begin scrubbing the system. Diskeeper 2011 scanned the drive and discovered thousands of issues Diskeeper 2011 Professional gave my testbed a "Bad" rating, which was an apt score for the heavily used system. I began the clean-up process by selecting the volume (in this case, the "C" drive), and expanding the "Analyze and Defragment Now" drop-down menus so that I could click the "Analyze" button. Novices may find the interface challenging, but those used to tinkering with PCs should feel right at home. Between the row of icons across the top of the screen, ability to select external and internal drives, and drop-down boxes in the left column, there's a lot to digest. Diskeeper 2011 Professional's interface sports an easy-on-the-eye blue-and-white color scheme. Priced at $59.99, Diskeeper 2011 Professional is pricier than the free Comodo System Cleaner (Free, 3.5 stars) and the Editors' Choice award-winning Iolo System Mechanic 10 ($49.95, 4.5 stars), but offers something that neither does not: on-going fragmentation protection.Ĭompatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP PCs, Diskeeper 2011 requires just 60MB of disk space (half what Editors' Choice Iolo System Mechanic 10 requires), and an Internet connection for activating the license. Diskeeper 2011 Professional aims to improve your PC's performance by supplying several useful tools (registry cleaner, junk file remover, and more). Lethargic computer performance is often a sign that your PC is suffering from a fragmented hard drive, a clogged registry, or some other kind of software gunk-up. ![]()
