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

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).
