can not defrag some files

I ran defrag and the results were the above. B/c I did not make note of the
names, I assume I can not fix it manually. Ccleaner could not fix these files
either.
Question, is this something to be concerned about re: security etc?

Some files cannot be defragmented any further. CCleaner is not in any way
intended to defrag files, and it cannot do anything about that.
Providing you have an up-to-date antivirus program, and do regular scans,
there should not be a security issue.

Doubtful.

I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report. Open Disk
Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy.

As a matter of interest, can someone tell me how to find the names of
files that are indicated as "cannot be moved" ( green on the diagram, as
I remember)?

TIA

The MFT, the pagefile, and the hyberfile are three that cannot be moved.
And, there are no security issues associated with defragmentation.

You can sometimes defragment a few more files by booting into safe mode,
but I think you're probably way into the land of diminishing returns there.

To defragment everything you'd need to be booted from a different
system, perhaps a standalone CD. It would need to contain specialised
software to cope with the really unmovable parts, and you'd probably be
taking a huge gamble with your system (if you lost power part way
through). The Windows defragmenter and most 3rd party defragmenters use
a built-in Windows API which is safe under all circumstances.
