Overview Anecdotal data is received from Diskeeper customers that one of the benefits of using Diskeeper to handle file and free space fragmentation on their desktop systems was a significant reduction in the time it takes to conduct virus scans. With virus attacks rippling through the internet - the quick succession of recent worm attacks like Sobig, Blaster, and the Welchia worm outbreaks - has created a security environment of unprecedented intensity and has increased the importance of a fast virus scan capability on desktop systems as part of an organization's overall security strategy.
