(The following is taken from his webpage.)

The long-awaited version 4 is finally out. The program is now called "MyDefrag", because it has a scripting language and you can customize just about every aspect of it. It is no longer the "JK" (Jeroen Kessels) defragger, but "my" (your) defragger!

Fully functional freeware.
Higher speed.
Better optimization.
Lower memory usage.
.... and more!

For anyone who wants to request ubuntu live CD.

An ubuntu live usb disk has problems booting in older systems, since their BIOS isn't set up to boot from USB. You have to edit the BIOS settings manually, and allow booting from your flash drive. But, this can be a problem in public places, because when they see you tweaking with their computer's BIOS, you're probably gonna get kicked out. This is a problem with mostly all live CD operating systems. The only practical way to run a linux distro off a USB disk is probably to use a Virtual Machine, unless you're running a newer computer.
