FatBuster

It is an Adware Bundler. An Adware Bundler is a downloadable program that is typically 'freeware' because it is bundled with advertising software -- adware. The adware may function independently of the bundler program, but in some cases the bundler program will not function if the adware is removed, or will not install unless the adware is installed. Most Adware Bundlers install several adware applications from multiple adware vendors, each of which is governed by a separate End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy. Some Adware Bundlers may not fully and properly disclose the presence of bundled advertising software during installation.0

FATbuster scans the disk(s) we specify and not only tells how much space is being wasted given the current cluster and partition size settings, it also tells how much would waste if we changed to other cluster sizes. We can therefore make an intelligent, informed decision as to whether or not to repartition our disk, because we'll know exactly how much space we would or wouldn't be saving at all prospective cluster sizes.
