get rid of Spybot S&D as it has become obsolete!

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) is MUCH better.

Actually I did. Somewhere along page 4
But you would be correct about MBAM!

Give it another temporary file clean and defrag - and note any improvements

PC just froze on defrag again, attempting to rerun Puran.

Get rid of Comodo Personal.

How much RAM does the system have

Get rid of Comodo Personal.

How much RAM does the system have

1 GB. Only about 50% total is being used. Doubt this is a memory issue.. More like a Puran doesn't like my PC issue. Out of 4 times running it, it's locked up my PC twice. Sometimes it runs and then sometimes it runs successfully. And why would I want to get rid of Comodo?

[RONIN2010]

Get rid of Comodo Personal.

I'm curious and would like your input, as I've yet to have any issues with Comodo other than maybe it being a little more advanced.

[YoKenny]

Well a process of elimination is needed as I do not use Firefox 3.6.8 + BP nor NS nor WOT nor Comodo Personal nor Spybot S&D

[RONIN2010]

Right, which I understand you're just trying to help and appreciate that. I also no longer use Spybot, just need to remove that from my sig. I'm also 100% certain Comodo is not the issue. But it seems that whatever the issue, it's revolving around Puran, within the first 15-30% of the defrag process. Which makes me wonder if it isn't a bad sector or a horribly fragmented or corrupted file on my hard drive.

Temp file cleanup was successful. 1st defrag froze my PC, 2nd defrag was successful. Speeds are the same. Not that that's a bad thing!

I would suggest that a chkdisc is the next option - full destructions here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

Done!

Were any errors found ? 

I am running out of tricks at the moment to increase your speed 

[RONIN2010]

No errors found. I'm wondering if my system specs are just not adequate enough for Puran. I'm at a loss here. But thank you so much Essexboy, for helping me out. As long as there are no viruses I think I can live with the speed. Have for 7 years so far :'(

I haven't read all of this topic, but one of the most common problems with defrag tools is having insufficient free space on your hard disk for them to work.

If you have less than 15% free space on your hard disk you are looking at having problems with most defrag tools. You could try the windows defrag, whilst not as fast as puran, it may require less resources, but even windows defrag if you get below 15% free space I think it warns you.

Not a problem here David 

So you are back to normal (whatever that is ) for your speed now ?

[DavidR]

Yes, just a passing straw that I was frantically clutching at
