SpywareGuard stops Win98 Defrag

Hi all ,

I have noticed that I have to close/exit SpywareGuard to get my Win 98 Defragmenter to complete it's job. It was sticking at 70% and could not get any further . When I closed SpyWG it finished the defrag quickly. So SpyWG must be writing to files , or scanning them in the background continuously. I have found in the past that the less that is running in the background the faster the defrag. Nothing new there. I usually defrag off line so that I can shut down any running AV Guard / scanners also.
This is not a big problem... I am just interested if any one else has noticed this.

Run defrag in Safe Mode. Dose a great job my having the minimal drivers, programs, etc. loaded.

Thank you all,

That is pretty much what I expected. The "old" thread that Snowbound suggested was good reading.
As a 'new' SWG user it is good that all that info is available.
