Overview
Diskeeper Home Edition is a software program developed by Diskeeper. The most common release is 9.0.538, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The setup package generally installs about 25 files and is usually about 10.83 MB (11,357,213 bytes).
