    How exactly did you "uninstall" it?

    That is not the way to uninstall any software. This is the process you need to follow:

    Click START and then CONTROL PANEL.

    In the window that appears click ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS and allow the list in the next window time to populate.

    Once populated with the names of all your programs, click once on IOBit Smart Defrag, then click the CHANGE?REMOVE box on the right hand side of the software title and follow the instructions that follow to successfully uninstall the software application.

    I've noticed with IOBit's defrag that if you uninstall it (even via Add/Remove Programs), it will still be there even after a reboot. If you look in the system tray down by the clock, you'll see their little icon. Right click it and select Exit, then uninstall it. Then click Start, click Run, type msconfig and press Enter. Click the Start Up tab and uncheck the box for IOBit SmartDefrag. Click Apply, click OK, and click Restart Now. Yeah, it's a big pain in the a** but it's the only way I've found to be sure it uninstalls completely.

    Helpful, thanks dlb. The only time I uninstalled it was when my motherboard and cpu fried. It uninstalled perfectly first time then ;)
