When I run Norton Insight Optimizer, there are a lot of fragmented files. It also takes two hours to do, even if I just ran a defrag. What does Insight Optimizer do? How long should it take?

Hi varun861123,
pehhawaiiisland is referring to this thread over here:

The answer is explained in this post: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360-4-0-Public-Beta/First-Impressions-Feature-Question/m-p/169698/highlight/true#M295 .
Basically, Optimzer will defrag all drives on a system while Insight Optimizer will only defrag the boot volume of the system. The impact of the two features will be more pronounced depending on the OS your system is running.
Yeah,
I ran the scan for 3 hours and it did nothing exept fragment my hard drive.
Since we are on this subject I will post what happened to me. I ran the utility and it took about 30 min. There was no signal that it was finished, everything just stopped. I did a hard reboot and CheckDisc ran and fixed a lot of errors. I don’t know if this is supposed to work this way but running the insight optimizer forced a checkdisc scan which fixed things,or,maybe fixed fixed errors that insight caused by running.
