But what exactly changes in the way Windows scatters NTFS files on a hard disk platter ? Which, regardless of the sneaky and dishonest tactics, is outrageous.Īntivirus programs may justify charging by the year, beacause new malware keeps appearing everyday. You think you're buying a 30 $ product all along, but it's only when cashing out you discover this will be 30 $ per year. The other red flag is : the Disk Defrag Pro version Auslogics offers on its site, outside of any promotional deals such as this one, is sold under a subscription model but this is almost completely hidden.

The Disk Defrag Pro installer specially prepared for that other promotional offer also triggered one Virus Total warning, for a PUP. Downloads from reputable publishers (which Auslogics is, to a point) don't trigger such warnings. False positives can happen, but this is highly unusual.

TRICKY - easy download - then things went to pot.installed, seemed to go fine.then it started scanning without my "ASKING".but no big deal.EXCEPT a few seconds later the THRILLING BLUE SCREEN.first scare.but it booted up so figured out it was a fluke.so clicked to start it, half a splash screen and the BLUE HIT AGAIN.except this time it didn't want to an B.restarted to Safe Mode.that was a slow process.thank goodness for REVO.end of the PLAGUE.as typical of some programs it installed itself all over so it meant
