I recently upgraded my Norton's Internet Security to Norton 360 - which
contains a disk optimizer (defrag). Prior to upgrading Norton my Vista
Defrag
tool worked fine no problem and always on schedule. After the upgrade to
Norton, I was setting up the program and the defrag tool in Norton said
"pending" which I left alone, because I was comfortable using the native
defrag utility. However, now the vista defrag does not work. I went into
the
the vista tool to look at the schedule and it gave the last run date ( I
had
it set to weekly on Wed at 1am). The next scheduled defrag said "Never"
despite the box checked "run automatically". I then unchecked the box and
rechecked it, and then it gave the next scheduled date which I changed to
that evening. I left it alone until the next morning and it not only did
not
defrag per the schedule but the Vista tool said next scheduled defrag
"never"
and Norton was back to Pending again. I have to assume this has something
to
do with Norton.
I am told that Norton's defrag tool is tied to Vista's tool.

Any suggestions?

Yes. Remove Norton from your system.




This advice is not helpful to the OP or anyone else. N360 is an entirely
different kettle of fish from earlier Norton bloat ware - it is light on
resources, works unobtrusively in background, and there are once-daily (or
often-more-than-once-daily) updates.

I have not been a fan of Norton products in the past, but this one is good,
based on my personal experience for the last six months while using it with
Vista HP. Have you used it yourself?
