Daily Defragmentation Eliminates Waits for Anti-Virus Scans
Added: (Mon Jun 20 2005)
East Grinstead, West Sussex -- June 17, 2005 -- Executive Software announced that Fortune 500 Company, Icon Computing, improved the speed of virus scanning by over 400% by defragmenting with Diskeeper®. Daily defragmentation is critical to speed up important security tasks such as running anti-virus scans.
According to Phil Pinto, Network Administrator at Icon Computing, "Daily defragmentation is the single most important thing that I can do -- short of virus prevention -- to keep my system running at top performance. Performance of a machine deteriorates over time. Today, with the size of some files, it does not take long for the NTFS Files System to become significantly fragmented. Scanning this computer for viruses using eScan Virus Control would take over 3 hours to scan about 220,000 files -- before my drive was defragmented with Diskeeper -- now it takes less than 40 minutes. I have a large number of services that start with windows, and disk defragmentation is critical to keep the system running smoothly."
Studies done by Executive Software compared the performance of fragmented and defragmented drives when virus scans were run. In each case virus scan times were considerably faster when the drive was defragmented.
