I have xp formatted fat32 defrag32.exe (not the virus) runs when the system is idle. it is not a "scheduled task" it just runs. How do I turn the silly thing off? I have gone so far as renaming it and it just keeps coming back. It makes me crazy!

Thanks.

| | Its best to run the Disk defragmenter that comes with windows in safe
mode to be on the safer side:) to avoid anything at all interrupting
with its job. Also the built in does not defrag the MFT and paging
file, for that you will need third party tools which are also pretty
faster and some of then can be scheduled to run even while the system
is functioning. | check out this link
