 TemperTemper | It constantly tries to access the internet. |
 jk | Its Malware , and a Keylogger |
| Sue | used by diskeeper |
| Franklin | Everytime I start the PC zone alarm sees it trying to access the net..there is no reason for this unless it is as JK puts it some form of malware and keylogger.. This was found after selecting not to share data with them..Dishonest and underhand at best... |
 what_the | Diskeeper is not accessing the Internet. It is communicating with the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and the Diskeeper service, using one of Windows' ports. IP address 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address for the local PC; messages sent to the loopback port go right back to the PC, not out to the internet. This means that DfrgNTFS.exe and DfrgFAT.exe (the NTFS and FAT defragment engines) are trying to communicate with the Diskeeper service on the local PC, through port 31038. The firewall sees this as Internet access. (taken from Diskeeper support service email to moi) |

| Hugo | The DKService.exe windows service is vital as it handles inter-component communications. It also addresses external communications (such as checking for product updates or transmitting report data to a Diskeeper Administrator console). The Diskeeper Service is set by default to "start" when the system boots up. By default, Diskeeper is also set to log actions of this service in the Windows Application Event Log. The preferred interface is up to the user. See also: Link |

| | It's the Diskeeper service, indeed. It does open port 31038. Blocking it with a firewall does NOT affect Diskeeper's functionality. |
| Anthony M | If you have any new versions of Diskeeper this is the process that allows it to defragment using the idle system resources. It may look at though it is using vital resources if you check it when your system is idle, but that is it merely using what is not being used. To stop is from using idle resources simply change your options in diskeeper. See also: Link |
| Richard | If you elected to have your disk(s) defragmented automatically then this program will be running. If you don't like it, turn off auto defrag in Diskeeper. |
| PowerShot-x | The DKService.exe windows service is vital as it handles inter-component communications.

The Diskeeper Service is set by default to "start" when the system boots up. By default, Diskeeper is also set to log actions of this service in the Windows Application Event Log. The preferred interface is up to the user. It's not vital, so you can turn it off. But you have to run it when starting Disk Keeper again. |
| Numa | this is a service used by diskeeper, but it tries to send some data to Internet to validate license and a valid key. |
 Drakovich | Diskeeper isn't a security risk, but this process seems to be responsible for major performance-loss in games. Disable if unsure, and enable when you want to actually run Diskeeper. |
| Forrest Johnson | It is a most excellent program designed to defragment your hard drives and can also defrag. any of your removable drives. Set it to run manually and it will serve you better than any other program of it's kind. Try it , you will love it. See also: Link |
| Dan | Part of Diskeeper software - communicates with/monitors system to keep HDs defragmented automatically. |
| Ronmy | I was a recent beta tester for Executive Software's new and revolutionary Diskeeper's 2007 version. Bottom line: this is Diskeeper's active background running program that watches and defrags your hard drive as you work, tuning it to perfection in the 2007 Pro Premium version. DK technology works much better than the MS Defrag utulity, I might add. (Shame on those of you who jumped the gun and called this a dangerous file. A simple Google search would have alleviated your worries.) See also: Link |
