Otherwise, I see that Defraggler is available in 'Portable' format:
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/dfgportable

Other tools :
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities

Can it be used on Linux using the Wine module?
In the end, it was a very bad idea to use Defraggler from Linux and Wine... Even if it didn't work, it was very dangerous anyway. =@

In years past Hiren's PE CD was considered illegal unlike Bart's PE.

An interesting link: https://www.hirensbootcd.org/faq/
I already read the link when I posted my above post, and in this they state this:
Is Windows PE legal to use?

“Windows PE is not a general-purpose operating system. It may not be used for any purpose other than deployment and recovery. It should not be used as a thin client or an embedded operating system. There are other Microsoft products, such as Windows Embedded CE, which may be used for these purposes.

To prevent its use as a production operating system, Windows PE automatically stops running the shell and restarts after 72 hours of continuous use. This period is not configurable.”

Source: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... inpe-intro

Windows PE does not include any Windows license keys. Also Hiren’s BootCD PE does not violate Windows PE purposes and it does not change “72 hours of continuous use” limitation. So using Windows PE in Hiren’s BootCD PE is legal in the terms of Microsoft’s usage purposes.
But about my above questions

Do you know how Hiren's BootCD PE secures its system?
A search on https://www.hirensbootcd.org/ is quite inconclusive.
The newest release to mention "firewall" is this
seems no one on here is able to answer these, seems I have to write the Hiren’s crew directly, or find a support forum for Hiren’s.
Cheers!

Have you ever heard a thief admit to the crime? In this country if you sell something you didn't create, didn't make, don't own, it's classified as a crime.
