Hey all!
Recently, my mom called because her network crashed and she didn't
know what to do. I rebooted into my XPee partition so I could make sure
that I was telling her the right things to do when walking her through
the diagnosis. While I was there, I started getting pop-ups and all
kinds of tell-tale signs of trojans, spyware, and worms (Oh my!). So, I
ran my spyware and antivirus stuff, and then I defragmented the XP
partition. I looked at my shared partition while I was there, and
Windon't wanted me to defrag it as well. I didn't do it, but it was
showing a lot of fragmented files. It just seemed like a bad idea for
me to defrag with Windows something that I rely on in Linux. So, the
question is this. Is there a utility that is used to defrag files on a
Linux system, and is it advantageous to do so? Also, is it as dangerous
as it seems that it could be to run the Windows defragmenter on my
shared partition? Thanks!
