AluriaCacheFile.dat is probably in use. Files that are in use cannot be
fragmented.

Change that to: Files that are in use cannot be DEfragmented.

AluriaCacheFile.dat is from Aluria Software Aluria Security Center/Spyware
Eliminator.

You get it free or something if you have Earthlink. In fact, Earthlink
bought Aluria.

AluriaCacheFile.dat cannot be defragmented. Why am I getting this
message now? I never got it before and I have been defragmenting since
day one. I don't even use the Microsoft Firewall, so why should there
even be an AluriaCacheFile.dat? What if anything should I do about this?
