In the life of a Windows machine, nothing is certain but malware sweeps and disk defragmentation. Both chores are deployed regularly in hopes of holding off bit rot, and each has a knack for sucking up resources and generally getting in everyone’s way-despite ongoing vendor efforts to tuck these tasks into the background.

I suspect that anti-malware efforts will always be messy-at least until application whitelisting tactics like the ones that Andrew Garcia discusses here become more broadly accepted. However, there may be new hope on the disk fragmentation front, in the form of Diskeeper’s Diskeeper 2010 software.

For managed services providers handling PC maintenance, upgrades and patching remotely for their customers this tool is a incredibly useful.
