It might have been great, but it was abandoned. Reproducibly nonfunctional.

A malware scanner.
Mostly-meh.

Note that defragmentation is irrelevant with an SSD, and even with a HDD, Windows will auto-defragment if you leave it alone for a bit. For windows 8 and Windows 10, my administrative settings are so aggressive that when I'm inactive for five minutes it pokes around to see what it can defragment.
- As of 2016-02-15 on Windows 10, 1.35.04 is in my toolkit.
