I never turn off MSE, my anti-virus program when I perform a defrag, which
is normally every two months or so. I have never had any problems with
either the Windows XP defrag utility or Auslogics Disk Defrag.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] To Defrag, do I have to turn Anti Virus off?
Dear Friends,
It has been a while since I defragged my "Systems Drive", I only use 10 GB
of the 80 GB, because I have all my data files on external drives, so do
not do this very often.
But I have always turned my anti virus program off before doing a Defrag.
Does one still have to do this?
Or have things changed?
I have always turned my anti virus program off when doing a Defrag, since
I started using Windows in 1999.
I am using XP-Home with my Dell computer.
Thanks for any comments!
With Best Regards,
Alan
