Smart Defrag 5
Overview
Smart Defrag 5 is a software program developed by IObit. The most common release is 5.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. 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 setup package generally installs about 67 files and is usually about 32.41 MB (33,985,051 bytes). The installed file AUpdate.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 60% of users of Smart Defrag 5 come from the United States, it is also popular in Italy and Germany.
