    gus,
    Thanks for that.
    I am trying different defraggers, but I would very much like to find out what the problem is with Auslogics, why can’t I download it etc. etc???

      There are 4 links here to download: two from the authpr’s site and two from MajorGeeks. Download Auslogics Disk Defrag - MajorGeeks

      You will note that it does say ad-supported. That’s probably the reason why Avira marks it PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application) due to the ad engine.

        Totally agree with Plodr, if you look around you will find Auslogics apps have been causing issues with AV’s for years. Add to that Malwarebytes aggressive new stance with “possible” PUP’s. If you dont want to exclude Auslogic from Malwarebytes maybe it’s time for you to seek another AV. You say you are using Malwarebytes free which after a trial period resorts to a second opinion AV only, so Malwarebytes should not interfere with downloading anything anyway. If Avira is flagging it too, perhaps you should move on unless you wish to exclude Auslogics from Avira.

          OK Guys,
          I think it’s time to knock Auslogics on the head.
          I have earmarked 4 options:

          Win7 Defragger
          UltraDefrag
          Smart Defrag
          Defraggler
          Best Option please? Easiest to use etc. etc?

          Just want it to Defrag and Optimize like Auslogics used to do.

              gus,
              I have tried them all but I don’t have the technical knowledge to choose one over the other.

              gus/plodr/Evan omo/veeg - any preferences please??

                Ok,like it has been said Win 7 has a pretty decent defragger..

                Here is a list of the best with reviews. https://www.lifewire.com/free-defrag...-tools-2619172

                I have heard of people using and they were pleased…
                Defraggler
                Smart Defrag
                Tool wiz Smart Defrag
                WinUtilities DiskDefrag

                Like everything else,i would make sure they haven’t put in ad’s like Auslogics.. Which is a shame it used to be pretty decent.

                  You’d be surprised at how little the hd needs defragging. The inbuilt works fine and is set to defrag once a week on a schedule. I’ve been using it for 3 years and my desktop computer is used daily.

                    If I had to choose of an alternative for Auslogics Disk Defrag, then I would install Defraggler since its made by the same company as CCleaner which is one of the best temporary file cleaners.

                        Hi Guys,
                        I’ll settle for either Win7 or Defraggler.

                        Sincere thanks for all your assistance.
                        Can you please mark as solved?
