Overview

O&O Defrag Professional is a program developed by O&O Software GmbH. The most used version is 17.5.559, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The main program executable is oodag.exe. The software installer includes 35 files and is usually about 67.55 MB (70,826,578 bytes). ooliveupdate.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released. In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 32% of users of O&O Defrag Professional come from Germany, it is also popular in the United States and France.

Have used this program since version 4. An annoying feature (V16) is the pop-up reminders of an upgrade, not an update. Disabling the "startup" entry file "trayapp" removes the pop-ups seemingly without affecting the program.
