Overview

Diskeeper Professional Edition is a software program developed by Diskeeper. The most common release is 10.0.608, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named Diskeeper.exe. The setup package generally installs about 22 files and is usually about 13.28 MB (13,921,063 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows XP and Windows XP.
