CORRECT: A beta version is a way a company tests its "next great utility", but you put your PC at risk by using it, (or any beta program). In this case, IObit's defragmentation utility.
NOTE: Each subsequent beta version is not necessarily BETTER than it's predecessor. In many instances a "newer" beta version is a completely different version, deliberately leaving out previous features considered "proven & reliable”, or, “a bad idea", simply to test (on OUR pc's) a few new algorithms. Eventually the developers extract from each beta version all the "good things" for the final product. This then is often offered as a “free trial” download, but to have all the ‘bells-n-whistles’ you have to BUY the full version.
TESTING done in my labs indicate it's not unusual for other programs to show a much different percentage defragmentation compared to IObit's. Their defragmentation percentage is reported as much better than the true results. They have a lot of bugs to work out yet. (On your PC!)
RECOMMENDATION: Uninstall IObit Defrag and do NOT use it until the beta versions are gone. Wait for the hopefully safer and final commercial version.
PS: Those bug report pop-ups? Don’t expect to ever receive a reply; it’s just not done in the beta testing industry. The most you can expect is a User's Forum, since most people do not bother to send in th e bug reports. All they want to know from those reports is how severely their cute little program has screwed up you computer. . .
hi there
nice post and thank you for the time given with the sound advice.
I agree with you here on any type of program(Beta) its not recommended installing them,unless one is willing to Accept the risks!
and any one thinking to try one out(Beta testing application) think carefully. most only last a sort time any how! and you risk your system .
If you for some reason like the Idea of testing or BE a ????? (used As) .be aware you are!
BE AWARE you can lose your system completely!!! and only blame your self.

BUT RISKY.
A beta version is a way a company tests its "next utility", but you put your PC at risk by DOING SO, (using trying,any beta program)
So nothing positive about that ,if one is using logic.or ones brain!
DO NOT install ONE UNLESS ONE IS PREPARED TO LOSE A DRIVE AND DATA!
and want to risk the possible loss.
