simplifast

What is simplifast?

Simplefast is a PC 'optimization' and defragmentation program.

About  (from simplitec GmbH)

With just 1 click the simplifast tools scan your PC for problems. Normally Windows doesn't write and delete files in one go, but rather in multiple fragments. The simplifast Defragment Program does this in reverse: this PC defragment function provides noticeably faster and more efficient access to your files.

Overview

simplifast is a program developed by simplitec GmbH. The most used version is 1.5.3.6, 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. 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. The main program executable is powersuite.exe. The software installer includes 22 files and is usually about 44.17 MB (46,317,988 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 28% of users of simplifast come from Germany, it is also popular in Netherlands and the United States.
