Hi Paul
You don't need to uninstall your virus checker, you just disable it. Make
sure you are not connected to the net and this won't be a problem. You
could simply try doing the defrag without uninstalling it though. As for
checking the progress, why would you want to do this? You might as well set
it going and go to bed. In the morning, the defrag will be done.
When you do a disc clean up, the utility will delete files from various
places, such as the recycle bin and temporary folders, and all are ok to
delete.
