For defragmenting there's a nifty freeware from AUslogics called Auslogics Disk Defrag.
Thanks for the recommendations. There are a couple of programs there that I am going to be trying!
A tip for AVG users... It can take up a lot of your system resources, so schedule its updates/scans for some time when you won't be on your computer. You'll save some frustration, believe me!
Nice freeware list Mr.Kevin! I will updating my Freeware Fiesta list with some of these.
