    Now this is weird. Wneh I woke up today my laptop seemed busy with something, which was kinda weird considering only windows media player was running (as alarm clock :D) After checking I found out that there's defragmentation process runnning and eating up all CPU. The funny thing is, I never launched it in first place! It's only showing in task manager, no window, program opened etc. I tried launching the program to see maybe what's goning on an it says that current version can't run two instances. Anyone have any clues as to WTF?!
    I don't even know which drive it's defraggin, but last time I run it manually (few weeks ago) it required 15% of free disk space so I imagine it can't be C: now since it doesn't have 10% now.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: I just shut it off and it seems like nothing bad happend so far. Still weird though

    > scheduled for defrag w/o your knowledge
    > glitch on startup
    > you pressed something
    > defrag virus (LOL, theres no such thing)

    By defalt defrag is set to run when the computer is not in use. You have to manually disable it but it is probably best to leave it sonce it keeps performance at its peak
