Joseph,
Disk Defragmenters are not necessary to run on current computer systems
unless you notice a performance drop (having fragmented files is ok
unless they impact performance). Most any defragmenter will do the job.
Having 0 fragmented files all the time is not a practical endeavor
unless you are trying to wear out your hard drive. I recommend
defragmenting about every six months for the typical computer user and
about every three months for the heavy duty user. But be guided by need,
not a clock.

Try a demo download of Diskeeper 9 (www.executivesoftware.com) or PerfectDisk 7.0 (www.raxco.com) and run one of those after Ashampoo has finished to see if that is true. I regularly use PD7 or DK9 and have 0 fragmented files when they are done. Both are way faster than the default defragger that comes with Windows, and neither stops and then starts over like the Win defragger does if you even move your mouse cursor. Raxco's Perfect Disk 7 has a subscription membership that doesn't require you to buy and install software. I beta tested it and have a subscription. If you really want to keep your hard drive clean and healthy you will need a dedicated defragger. I don't think Ashampoo can keep up with either one of the above. Check it out for yourself.
